Calling an All In with KQo with 5 left?
 

I'm pretty sure the KQo call here is a good one - what other hands do you call here with?

Whats the thinking behind calling. Your behind any Ax that he might be pushing, and a coinflip with pokets. The hands you dominate arent ones he would be pushing that often. what gives?! [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

you have 21% of you stack in already, it makes 50/50 and 40/60s +ev

I'm definately not convinced this is a call.

If it is I think it's pretty close.

But I'm way too lazy to do the math right now.

Im gonna be the guy to disagree. Granted he is pushing you for your blinds, 5 handed you are not in trouble yet. It is 3:00am and it probably is +EV to call, but still... you have at least one more time round the table before blinds will catch up with you, wait for the Ax to push

The SB could be pushing a larger range than ax and pair. Some big stacks will be pushing any 2 here. If plug it into the power tools, you have to be able to figure out if he will push k2+ and some qs before this becomes an EV+ call. Personally I fold most of the time. Look at the other stacks. Except for the one big one, they are all about the same level of yours. I think you need to be patient and hope to get a pushing chance

It depends on Villain. Some Villains just don't like pushing, and they'll most often complete here. When they push, it doesn't mean K2o, or Q5, or something like that.

They push something like Ax, any pair, K9+, QT, JTs, or something like that, which is absolutely horrible, of course. Hell, since they like limping, they might limp more, trying to "trap" you.

However, if I or any 2+2er is in the SB, you better believe we're shoving the hands mentioned above, and more, much more here. I think a lot about shoving 32o here, though Villains like calling a lot.

So, with any aggressive read, I call here. Otherwise, I might fold, but damn, I'm tempted.

You are definately ahead of most SB's pushing range
