Just taking shots. Over the last few days, I've gone from breaking even at the 33s to pwning them (knock wood), so I thought I'd dip my foot into the 1K chip pool...

I call, but I honestly have no idea.

[LeVoodoo]

I really think I'd fold. You'd have to beat both to finish anything but third.

Personally I think this is an easy fold.

While TT is a nice starting hand, with the two all-ins you are most likely a coin flip at best here.

If you call and win it would be sweet, but by simply folding you can pretty much guarantee yourself 2nd place. That is a pretty strong +$EV move IMO.

If you call and lose you take 3rd place since you are short stack. As much as I would hate folding here, I would fold and know I'm pretty much guaranteed 2nd and then work on taking 1st.

Just my $0.02. Hope it helps.

This is a VERY easy fold. There's only one situation that really pisses you off. They tie. Nothing wrong with playing for first by folding here.

You gotta fold. The push is suspect, the call from the 2nd big stack means he's decided to go to the felt because he knows he has the push beat and that means he probably has you beat, or maybe if you are lucky a coin flip. Folding pretty much guarantees you second. TT a great hand 3way, but you gotta fold this one.

Of course I'm just a rookie, I could be wrong.

rookie, your conclusion is correct, but your reasoning is slightly off. There's a high probability that our hero is ahead here (preflop). That being said, moving in here just because you're ahead does not mean that's the best $$$ decision.
