Re: Stars 45K Guarantee hand - insta call or insta fold?
 

I gotta fold here. As for me, I would have folded as soon as I saw 57. BB has you covered 3-1 in chips. You'd already said it was a loose, aggressive table right? With your M so low....I'd try to pick a better spot to put ur tourney life on the line.

But hey that's just me.

Thanks for the input. I have to admit I am surprised by all the votes to fold. By my math the pot was giving me about 2.5 to 1 on my call for my last 8500.

to be getting the odds you state (2.5:1) the pot would need to contain 21,250. this is not the case.

before any action starts with the blinds at 1200 (not sure of the ante amount so i am approximating), their is approximately 2400 in the pot. You added 3600 to that to make it 6000. BB raised you (allin,he already had 1200 in)for another 8,851 (also calling your 2400 chip raise), this adds 11,251 chips to pot. pot is now 17,251. aproximately 1.95:1 --- roughly 2:1.

There was an ante - cant remember what it was. But looks like I was BARELY getting over 2:1.

In the end, I called. He flipped over QQ (ugg) and no miracles happened for me and I finished 220th. Damn.

Thanks for the help again.
