Default His second consecutive push...

Is this worth a call? The guy is pretty LAG, and this is the second time in a a row he's pushed. (Later he pushes the next 4 hands in a row, and I think back and wish I had called here).

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (6 handed) converter

Hero (t1345)
SB (t1115)
BB (t485)
UTG (t2600)
MP (t1485)
CO (t2970)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
CO raises all-in (t2970)
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>.

Final Pot: t75

You'll only have 9x the BB here with 6 big stacks left. I think you need to take a chance here and try to double up. Once the blinds go up again you'll be in trouble if you fold here. Given its his 2nd consectutive push, I think you'll have a decent chance of being ahead here.

Hero has 1345 and bb is 50, that is not 9x bb.

And no, I would not call with AJ at this point - the blinds are small, you have a decent stack, and AJ is not a good hand to call an allin.

Now, if he pushed allin 5 times in a roll and the exact same situation occured (same stack/blind ratio, same number of players), I would still not call with AJ. Even if you put him on a loose range of cards and work out the expected win % with an AJ, it's not going to be good enough to justify a call (the biggest reason is because you have over 20 x the bb).

i agree w/munk.

blinds are only 25/50. and you have nothing invested in this hand. no need to fight the big stack this early w/ajo.
