44 from the BB in a $555 Stars Turbo
 

So far the table had been extremely tight (as you can tell by chip stacks).

Also, 4 people were disconnected and/or sitting out due to the partial internet meltdown. I was having a hard time actually being able to see my hand and act as my internet kept going in and out (a few hands I missed completely). Every hand was taking forever due to all of this and very few hands were being played.

Button hadn't really become active yet and had played a few hands post flop with small pots. I really can't say I had a read on what he was going to push here unfortunately.

I had only played two hands from MP up to this point and both times the rest of the table folded to me.

UTG (t1305)
UTG+1 (t1940)

Button (1590) goes allin

I'd fold under normal circumstances, but if your connection was doing the lambada and stuff, it might not be a bad spot to gambool.. and for future "image" stuff and all that I suppose.

Depends how lucky you're feeling.

About 1300 to win 1800. 44 is about a coin flip if he pushes top 20% or more.

Go for it. Bully the table if you won. Eat pasta only the rest of the year otherwise.

I assume you're asking because you think that the current internet connectivity issues are affecting the game, creating some other non-ordinary game issues? Otherwise, this seems like a pretty easy decision.

I think he must be. Can't believe Yugo would post about 44 calling in this situation otherwise.

Also having connection issues might cause him to tilt, I don't know as I'm not sure how well he can cope with it, but it's probably the most annoying thing to have to deal with when playing online poker. I was pretty pissed when my PSU went 'bam' when I had 4 $33s open, so I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to have it up and down whilst playing a $555.

Gonna answer the question?

I fold this every time. With 7 BB I don't like calling in hopeful coinflip situation if I think I am one of the better players at the table and play the short stack well. If I had 1000 or less I would call. With your stack, I would call with 77 or higher.

I would have thought anyone who had spent as much time on these forums as you would know that this spot is a clear opportunity to quarg.
