A call I don't normally make

[Scuba Chuck]

After reading Citanul's so yesterday I just kept hitting the call button, along with durron's two late play call examples, I came across this hand.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Hero (t700)
BB (t825)
UTG (t1405)
MP (t3180)
CO (t1020)
Button (t870)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, button raises allin, hero calls.

I still don't know how I feel about this.

I call here most of the time.

Edit: like I said yesterday, I have to have a read on the button as not being unusually tight.

[tigerite]

That's probably fine, but have you any reads on the button and also, on the BB?

[citanul]

that one seems like a call. doubling up = mass equity in this spot, and your hand should be good like, an amazing % of the time. it's not like it's the bubble.

i hope people aren't getting carried away with my post, though it looks like there might be some of that. the calls i was talking about were specifically not for your whole stack, and generally for under 1/2 your stack. i particularly was talking about calling off like 1/3 of your stack or so v a short stack PVSer with hands like 88 and such.

as for your call, looks nice.

Unless he's been pushing every hand, fold and don't even think twice.

Funny though- I made a call like this yesterday after reading that post... found myself against J7 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm starting to feel a really strong urge to push preflop every time I get AA...

[Scuba Chuck]

My thoughts at the time...

Blinds are getting painful. Button's stack (2nd shorty) and position are ripe to be a steal hand. But most importantly, I am shorty at this table. My stack is virtually worthless right now. If I call and more than double up here, I'm a contender.

perhaps you should be thinking twice or even 3 times.

After reading all the other posts I am. What makes you think he's pushing with a huge enough range? I don't see him pushing enough to make this +EV

No I followed that in your post. I was referring to durron's responses specifically.
