This depends on your opponent's pushing range, as with most 3-handed cases, quite a bit. Not knowing him, I call against a typical opponent at any level. The problem with assuming everyone is a "typical opponent" is that it never allows you to adapt in these situations where your opponent's range of hands makes a big difference in your EV.

play for first, meaning CALL.

This discussion is turning out much different than the original

FYP

"Playing for first" is just such awful reasoning it makes me want to kick puppies.

[Sabrazack]

I agree, maybe not the puppy kicking part though.

Oh, and i call.

[Dr_Jeckyl_00]

call... A9s will win 46% over A7-AK, Axs, pairs, KQs, KJs. If villain is pushing something worse like any two, A9s will win 63% of time. Pot is offering 1.5:1. Math: you will lose 2500 54% of time and win 3800 46% (assuming villain is on stronger range of hands) of time for +EV of 398 chips. If you lose you're still in ok shape. A must call, IMO.

now lets see what everyone else thinks...

I thought the OP had pocket 9's for some reason. Though I would probably still call.

Hmm, i'd fold this.


But after reading all these posts im obviously making a terrible mistake, hence why i've not got an ROI of azillion% at any limit. Thanks for this post and the responses, it has alerted me to an obvious leak in my game and i shall begin fixing it now. I think i need to put SNGPT on my christmas list..

Not so fast... wait 'til he links the OP, there is two sides to this story (although I doubt you would be folding for the "right" reasons)

[lem45216]

Yeah i doubt i would.
But now i am intrigued (sp?) as to what the OP said. I wait in anticipation.
