Do you call heads up in this situation?
 

This is a hand from a PokerStars $35 6 handed sit and go.
Its down to two players and my opponent has me outchipped
about 2 to 1. He is an extremely aggressive player, with
a high ranking on all the Stars TLB (yearly, monthly, weekly)

Putting aside the question of whether or not I should open push,
do you call or fold? Do you think it is close or clearcut?

Thanks,

Easy fold, and no you don't open-push with the blinds where they are.

Re: Do you call heads up in this situation?
 

very easy fold

Re: Do you call heads up in this situation?
 

Why do you both think this is an easy fold?
What hands do you put him on?

For example, if opponent is pushing with 66, 55, 44, 33, 22,
A6, A5, A4, A3, A2, K6......etc. then its an easy call.

The open push, is very close. But if you assume that
opponent has loose calling standards, then SNGPT shows this
to be a marginal push.

I'm really surprised that both of you think this is such
an easy fold. Explain please.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Why would you want to get all your money in on the bad side of a coinflip? You still have plenty of chips to work around with if you fold.

You have 21 BB. Why on earth are you considering calling here? I'm going to be passing unless the BB is 600 or something - I think it THEN becomes a marginal decision.

Don't ruin my analysis please!

It's an easy fold unless you think a coin flip or much much worse for you against this player is actually +EV since he's just going to run you over otherwise.

I think the interesting thing is where you go from here with your pre-flop plays. What villain is doing IMO is trying to make sure you don't limp with marginal hands, so he can easily control you based on your pre-flop actions.

You cannot stop limping here with marginal hands then limp with a monster and expect to trap villain. Continue to mix it up by limping and raising with both marginal hands and hands you're willing to go the felt with (as well as raising with junk occassionally, but never limping).
