Karak,
I don't see how you can fold this. With Villian at just under 5BB's her pushing range is probably any Ace to K9s/KJo. I can't see this being +EV. Even if you lose the hand your still at 20BB's. And if the table is playing anywhere as tight as you, you will have plenty of opportunity to steal the blinds and build your stack back up. Unless I know Villian to be a rock I think I fold this 0/10 times. Later, yabastid |

Call it... he raised under the gun and after the blinds pop him he is in deep trouble. He is likely stealing with KJ or 95 any two at this point. After the blinds his steal effectiveness ie... his stack will be 11K or just 4x the blinds... anyone of the larger stacks being in the big blind will easily look up another 9K if they have any favorable two. I call this. |

Losing the hand doesn't kill you at all. I like a call here. |

Easy fold.
He waited for a pocket pair/AKs/AKo/AQs/AQo/AJs/AJo and pushed with it when he got it. Plus, what about the two people behind you? |

If you aren't calling here MTTs probably aren't for you. You need to gamble when it gets late, there's no way around it.

This shortstack push is exactly what I would've been anticipating and hoping for. Easy call.

Re: 10 + 1 late stages - AQ folded pre-flop.. .thoughts?
Not a bad fold, AQ is a hand you would much rather come in with a raise than call a big bet preflop. You are also only getting 1.5:1 odds and with people left to act behind you something could go wrong. I think this is one of those hands where I would like to know how big stacked you are in comparison with the rest of the tournament. I would definitely call here if I was among the chip leaders since you can lose this hand and still be decently chipped relative to both the blinds and the other players at the table.
I really don't give too much credence to the villain being UTG since this is an 11 dollar buy in and people play like chumps 90% of the time and since you are readless I'd just assume hes a donk. I dunno, I the more I think about it the more I think this is a call. Perhaps one of those "inflection point" decisions. I would be more inclined to fold this if I had about 14-18xBB but since you are at 20+ I think you can call here, get more chips and use them to pound the table or you can lose this pot and grind it out like you we're planning on doing. Anyways, marginal decision but I call. |

I can't believe people say fold here. Shortstack is desperate and his range of hands is large. You're on the button as well and most of the players are out of the hand. CALL!
