is this a good call?

down to the river hero holding AK [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] board shows 10 Q 5 9 with 2 hearts.. raised all in.. do i call? figure my outs are any A,K,J or any heart.. was short stacked to begin with in a short handed 10 player tourney sit n go! pot was about 600 or so and 300 in my stack left..

600 before or after the raise? Your question is hard to answer because you're leaving out some info, how many players are left, how deep is the average stack, etc.

You're giving yourself 18 outs (3 Aces, 3 Kings, 4 Jacks, and the 8 other hearts) with one card to come. 18/46 = .39% so you can call with odds down to about 1.5 to 1. So getting 2-1, you've got an easy call from an odds standpoint. Assuming your overcard outs don't need to be discounted (which they probably do).

If you have the hand history, post that. There are a lot of factors you didn't mention such as blind size, players remaining, etc.

My guess is that a call is correct.
