Default Re: Pot odds say call...I fold it

You are getting 1.8-1, so you should call if you think you are 36% or better to win. Even eliminating the worst 15% of hands for him, you are 41% to win and 5% to tie. You have to take him down to only playing the top 50% of hands before your equity goes down to 36%. Considering that he is in desperate straights (one more set of blinds is 2/3 of his stack), I'd say that at the least, he is playing 85% of hands.

Ironically, you say that if you lose and fold, your remaining ~1000 will leave you with no FE, but by folding, you give him FE with ~960.
