$22: Fold, Call, or Push?

[swiftrhett]

I'm leaning towards fold. Sorry, I have problems with these hands that have callers in them still. I need to work on that.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP (t1230)
CO (t3035)
Button (t370)
Hero (t1005)
BB (t1580)
UTG (t780)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

I'm willing to waste 75 chips here and make a rare call.

I don't think the loss of those chips will injure me, and calling might make something interesting happen.

I'd call... might move in if CO is real loose (and the call isn't a tell).

with a loose CO Im at least calling, I mean, two pair and trips do happen off of worse hands.

This is why I think it's a fold: CO likely hods Ax, which makes you a huge underdog, and BB is yet to act. Your stack is about 7 BB, so shouldn't you be more inclined to push or fold?

If BB bets, it's a waste. If BB checks, the only flops you can play are such longshots (2 pair, straight, straight/flushdraw, trips)

[lorinda]

If BB bets, it's a waste.

I'm not convinced it's a total waste as long as he raised because you called.

rhett you are being way too rigid here. Cutoff doesnt likely hold Ax. Likely means something over 50%. There is no #@%@^ way that it's this likely that they have this exact hand. They could have any kind of bullcrap.

Don't you see the stuff your opponents play at the $22s? T9o, J5s etc etc. You cannot be that inaccurate at putting people on a range of hands.

[lorinda]

I agree. I think Ax is one of his least likely hands.

Lori

This is very read dependent. If he's been limping, I push this. If he's never limped before, I call.
