Default Re: am i supposed to call this?

You need to call 1185 into a pot of 800 + 1985 + 300 + 150 = 3235. That's almost 3:1. Consider that a hand like AQ here, which is one of the things you least want to see, you're 3:1 to win. So you almost have the right price against hands with a better Q or better 9, and a lot of the time you're going to have even better odds against his holdings. You really have to call this, I think. If you call and lose, then you'll be calling next hand with any two if your BB is raised because you'll once again be getting basically 3:1 odds.

This is a great example of why people advocate pushing in this spot instead. It saves you from having to make an uncomfortable decision here and will be more likely to result in your opponent folding.
