Bubble, defending BB, do you call here?

[1C5]

Party 22.

And 2nd question, what is the min hand you call here with?

SB has been pretty aggressive but nothing unusual.


Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (4 handed) converter

Button (t4740)
SB (t555)

I call here SB is desperate and probably pushing a large range of hands plus I really feel like you would be ahead here. Like I said this is a call I would make so if im way off here someone let me know.

For me, it depends on SB's pushing range. At the limits I play at, I fold, because people just don't push enough. I expect a limp more than a push in spots like these.

I want SB to be pushing 50+% hands at least before I call here. That's going to happen, but many opponents are too donkish.

I call here with A5s, any ace, KT+, 66+.

[1C5]

What limits do you play?

[lastchance]

Crappy ones because I have no BR. $5+1... And I've needed to pull a lot of that money out.

[lastchance]

You've got to call 22 when you're calling any ace.

[Slim Pickens]

You are right. I shouldn't be calling any ace here. A8+.

[curtains]

Folding here is dreadful. Stop thinking about ranges, no one should be tight enough here to make this fold correct. If you really think your opponent is then you are either deluding yourself or maybe making a very slightly -EV call (and its very rare youll find someone who makes this a -EV call) or a clear +EV call against any halfway normal playing opponent.
