Call.
Calling $700 at a chance to win $1450 is over 2:1 on your money. Short stack could be on a wide range of hands from small PPs that would make it a coin flip, to any Ax. Essentially a horse race. The extra $700 won't hurt you that much and you might gain position in the money. JMHO, Steve |

Re: In the money decision
You're getting 1450:700 on the call, and you don't rate to be a 2:1 dog... so it's a mathematical call.
But, you may be better off folding and then pushing from the SB if the chip leader limps or folds his button, and if not, then pushing from the button with any two. The difficult part of ITM play is balancing the chip value of a call vs. the value of future action when you can be first in. So, it depends on your opponents. If your opponents are playing correctly, you should call. If they are too tight short-handed, then I would fold and push later. Irieguy |
