Bubble call w/ any two?

texasrattlers · #1 01-12-2005, 06:01 PM

Stars $15 Turbo. 4 left. Blinds 400/800. Ante 50

Hero 3400 after posting BB
SB 1200 after posting SB
X 4000
Y 3500

Players X and Y fold to SB who pushes. Call w/ any two? In this case I have 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], which I think is pretty much any two.

25s is much better than 72o. I'd call here, you're getting 2.5-1, and a call won't cripple you. If he doesn't have a PP and both your cards are live (both of which are likely IMO), you're probably a 35-40 dog.

From ICM, you do get the odds, but barely. If you lost, after next small blinds, you only have 2200, still enough FE I think. I will probably call and end the misery.

Huh? By my math there's 1400 in blinds and antes, the guy completes, and raises 800 more. There's 2600 in the pot and he has to call 800 more. Getting over 3-1 he has the call with any 2, it's not a discussion

I think I did the math as if the SB had 1200 before posting, not after, which is an obvious mistake. In any case, what was the point of this? We came to the same conclusion regardless.

Call, not close, etc. I'm not even gritting my teeth like I would with 32o.

Sorry, I did not mean to nitpik for no reason, or to be an ass. I guess I picked up on the "it won't cripple you" comment in your post, and extrapolated that you might consider laying down with 3:1 pot odds to a probable steal, but you're right, you did not say that in your post, and we did come to the same conclusion. Again, sorry for my tone or any nitpicking.
