$11\'s villain pushes, call w/ TT?
 

Villain pushes in bubble... call or fold pocket tens? I never seem to make good calls... is it ever correct to call in bubble (besides QQ-AA or are those the only good hands to call with?)

I don't know about that. With big stack in the BB (assuming based on the action quoted), villain ought to be relatively tight.

It's probably a bit much to assume villain is thinking this deeply in an $11, but if he puts Hero on a tight calling range (TT+) and BB big stack on a fairly loose one he shouldn't be pushing more than the top 5% or so into him. If that's the case, Hero shouldn't be calling with less than QQ.

Of course, the difference in what villain has to be pushing to make TT a call and what he should be pushing isn't enormous. Top 10% would do it, which as it happens, just covers the A9o he actually pushed with.

I think that's my long-winded way of saying fold and let BB bust him with A3o. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
