Yes, I agree that Hero should have tried to avoid putting himself in this position. It is a much easier call with more chips.

However, while a SNG (or a set of 1000 sng's) and poker in general is about a long series of decision that add up to an eventuality it is moreso about each individual decision you are making. Yes, it would have been nice if he had more chips to make this an easier call but it is still a call unless villain is the worse player in history.

I call here 100% of the time even if I know villain is awful and is waiting for some random ace or king high to push. Then again I suck.

Dont focus too much on my assertion that I shouldnt be this low on chips to begin with. If the table is such that I think I have one easy steal in the next orbit, Ill fold this...but I have to estimate that probablility at 75% or so to fold this hand.

I would not call this 100% of the time, but i'd say a great majority of the time is about right. Being a rigid player is something I am trying to get away from and if it means passing up +EV plays on the curve, then Ill do it. Honestly, if I am reading this table as an ABC type table (IOW, not shifting gears well on bubble) I could fold this.

Dont mistake me for not understanding the overlay, cas I do.
