Default Make longshot call for a 2-fer?

So 95s is granted an awful hand. But was a call here mandatory to possibly be rid of both the shortstacks at once, for 1st place? And the potodds even weren't ridiculous right?

You have to call. No choice. Can anyone argue for folding?

With 32o is it still an easy call?

My initial reaction was 'fold'. The button must have some sort of hand, or else he'd sit and wait for BB to bust out. But against any ace for button and a random hand for BB, even 95 will win somewhere around 30 per cent.

Getting almost 3:1 is a call. Having four times button's stack (if I call and he wins) and just three times (if I fold and he wins) don't seem to be any different.

Good thing I read this thread. I might not have called.

Is it really worth calling here getting 3-1 in a 3 way pot against a pusher who probably has atleast a decent hand and a random hand in the BB? I don't know, but seems like people think so.

I would call if I somehow was dealt one card and it happened to be lower than a 2.
