Against most opponents (who are pushing a very wide range of hands) I call this one pretty quickly.

I love people who call with KQ or KJ in the bb to my shove from the sb, as it's so often I have Ax and beat them, but that's when things aren't so desperate as here, I think you do have to call because of the blinds and your stack.

Yeah, I'm favored, but I'd rather pick up the blinds uncontested. In this case, with the stacks and blinds such as they are, I really think calling is pretty easy. |

Whilst I understand the sentiment, you're not likely to get much better than a 60/40 chance of a double up, I guess it depends on the stage of the tournament - I wasn't talking about on the bubble, though.

Fold and then reread Sklansky's explanation of the Gap Concept.

That relates to bigger stacks than having <4BB left should you fold, I think.

Over 20% of my chips were in the big blind, the big stack goes all-in from the small blind and I would be getting good pot odds to call here with a hand that likely isn't dominated. I'm surprised that some people would fold this in the situation I was in. To them, what would you call with then? AJ+,TT+??? That has to be wrong. |

at first glance, this one looks pretty borderline. even with the blinds as big as they are.

The first thing that popped into my head was fold, but now I'm not so sure. I think it comes down to reads, if the other guy has been playing laggy I call, otherwise I fold because a lot of normal players have a rather small pushing range, even with the big stack. I still think I fold and hope its folded to me next hand in the SB.
