another hand from a friend. 22.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (5 handed) converter

Hero (t1165)
UTG (t2540)
MP (t968)
Button (t1175)
SB (t2152)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
1 fold, MP raises to t200, Button raises to t1175 (All-In), 1 fold, hero?

I call.

I prolly call at any level, unless I have a very specific read on the minraiser.

call - overbet implies a little weakness to me

you expect button to make it 600 to go with a good hand?

Absent reads, re-raises mean AA or KK. He'd probably raise to 700 or so if the stacks allowed, but that would leave 475 behind, and he's committed anyway, so why not put them in.

That's what my very limited experience at 11s & 22s tells me. And even if it doesn't, MP's raise could very well mean he has some of my outs if I'm up against JJ, for instance.

I think I can fold this.

Ummm....

I call here. MP can easily find a fold here following our push, and as far the Button, the times I see AQ and AJ here, or even AT or KQ, (remember we're shorthanded) will far outnumber the times I see AA or KK (bearing in mind that we have one of each). Barring that, we've got a coinflip with an overlay.
