I call this despite him being the second biggest stack. Your hand is too strong.

I would hestitantly call and hope he has KQ [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

easy call imo, youre way to strong

Re: $11 Party hand that has bothered me
 

Folding would be too weak. Donks like to semi-bluff and if hes semi-bluffing you have him dead to a runner runner. Whatever hand bb has you are either ahead or have outs.

Even if he has a set or a made flush, you're still getting proper odds to call. If he for some reason slow played aces or kings, the call is even easier.

Two other reasons to call:

1) It's an 11, there's always a small chance you're still currently ahead.

2) You win this hand, your stack can destroy the rest of the table.

Call.

At an $11, I'm calling this.
At a $22, I'm calling this.
At a $33, I'm calling this.

I would say the same for every other level, but i haven't played them sober, so i'll stop here.

If he coldcalled KK, you're a coinflip. If he has KcQx, you're dominating him. A smaller flush is possible but unlikely. If he has a set, you're a 30/70 underdog.

But this being an $11 SNG, he has Qh2c. Call this quickly.

Re: $11 Party hand that has bothered me
 

I agree with your points, I just wanted to see some arguments for why or why not calling. I ended up calling.

Hero calls 1505.
