Default HU: calling w/ low PPs w/ high ass blinds

Do you do it? Is it +EV?

Example:

$55 SNG, 10k chips total in play
Blinds are 250/500

I have 4790 chips.

I get 33 in BB. Opponent pushes for 5210.

Call or fold? Because of multiple tables being played at once...assume no reads are used.

I fold. I'm way better at pushing than calling.

Your stacks are even enough that you arent getting blinded away anytime soon. Just fold, push out of the SB, push out of the BB when you have a decent hand... But you're never going to be ahead with 33, and I just don't see any reason to take a coinflip or worse, despite the high blinds.

Mostly an easy fold except for exceptional circumstances that I can't really think of right now (e.g. Villain flashes you 22).

LOL. I agree. Fold You also have to take into account villian could be making this play with any other pocket pair. And your only ahead of one. Could be 4's through 9's. 10's and up you would think he would want to see a flop, and not push.

This is heads up right? And you're really going to fold this? Villain's push range is probably Ax, Kx, Qx, pocket pairs, JT, J9 T9? You're ahead against almost all of this range.
