Who calls in this scenario?

It's just funny, I read like 3 lines in succession ending with that question! I think it's stolen from David Sklansky or something?

This would have to be a lower percentage of my chipstack before I made the call. If I'm at 1500+ then I'd probably call if I thought he had any two.

I've only been looking at these forums for a week, and I already think that it would be viable for an acronym to be used in place of "Do you see why?":
DYSW?

Why would you willing give up your chip position on a coinflip here? I would much prefer to risk giving up my chip position when I am the aggressor, not the caller. Do you see why?

I absolutely see why. Typically, I would not make this call with T7s. However, the point of my post was that given the somewhat bizarre chip stacks at the table, you are not giving up much in terms of chip position for better than 2:1 odds. More than likely with 6 left and only T989, you will be putting yourself in a win or finish OOTM hand at some point anyway. Why not give yourself a 2nd chance to win a hand. Another difference from your thinking is that I certainly would be less inclined to make the call with 4 left and T7s. I wouldn't expect someone who preaches folding 88 in an unraised pot to understand that level of thinking. DYSW?

Another minor positive with calling in this situation is that it may deter someone from making a steal attempt at your blind after making this call.

Hmmm. What's the reason for taking pot shots at me? Did I offend you? Have I insulted you? Did I do something that I should know about?

Second of all, it's pretty ballsy of you to take pot shots at me considering the poll at the beginning reflecting opinions to the contrary, and other notable posters sharing my opinion.

So be a man, what's the reason for the pot shot? I'm calling you on the floor for it.

In the pot : 344 + 100 + 50=494, amount needed to call:344-100=244...I call..he has a third of ur stack, put urself in his shoes he clearly wants u to fold, u cant do him that favor.

[Nottom]

I fold, its probably pretty close EV wise and I'd rather not put in almost a 1/3 of my stack while behind when you have pretty good relative chip position. Give me about 1200-1300 chips and I probably call.

If you really put this guy on any 2 cards, you should call here.

Some times, most of the time you end up with about 600. I think the difference between 850 and 600 is more so than the difference between 850 and 1200 given the current chip stacks. So I'm happy not to gamble here.
