Default Re: Worst Call ever

Given the exact situation, it seems like a really bad call.. you have almost 2.5x as many chips as the short stack, not to mention two 'free' hands before you hit your next BB. By calling, you are taking a huge chance of bubbling, without proportionate gain in equity in chip EV.

Remember, when you call a big stack's allin, you're taking chips away from him that are not that significant, since that player is likely to make the money anyways. The player/s you want to be taking risks against are the short stack and the middle stacks, if you absolutely must. Here, I would likely fold all but very strong hands, like 99+, AQs+. Maybe sng analyzer says differently but I would definitely not call here with a hand as marginal as A7c.
