33+3 NL tournie on party

Last 16 players and I have 7600 ( very short ) after posting BB of 3000

Short stack goes all in for 7k,folded to me.

Basically I'm getting just over 3-1 with 6-2 offsuit.

If I win I'm upto 16/17k with a chance of making the final,If i lose Im all in next hand no matter what.

But it's 6-2 offsuit [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Depends on your read of the short stack. But I think I'd fold, and keep some folding equity for after the blinds go by. You would still have 2xBB, and can wait for a better opportunity IMHO.

I will be down to 6K if I dont get a hand in the SB and with blinds at 1.5/3k I think I'm going to get called no matter what.

not sure if this changes your answer.

Nice pic update BTW [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

can you be more specific? i think in this spot you'd prefer to be playing against someone who's relatively tight in this spot - that way you're unlikely to be dominated by a bigger 6 or 2.

and hero will have no folding equity after his blinds. he can make barely over a min-raise, which no sensible BB will fold to.

i think this is a call. you're going to have to win a showdown, most likely one where you're behind. may as well do it when the pot is laying you great odds.

This is a tough one. If you had even twice the chips you have now, I'd say this is a very easy call. As it is, I think you still have to take a chance and call here. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see the shortstack turn over A4o or similar in this situation. As long as both your cards are live, you just gotta get a little lucky and spike a pair.

Basically, as a shortstack like this, you gotta be willing to gamble a little bit... If you fold, looks like you'll probably be blinded out before the next payout anyways...

I would love to be more specific but I really dont have a read on this guy,he has pushed a couple of times before this but never shown a hand.

I think he would push with any A any two paint maybe Kx suited,it is party after all [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Call--and enjoy it. How often do you get to call with 62o? Consider it therapy.
