Is this just a pot odds question and the answer is yes?

Like 27 of 150/200+ left. 5+R turbo to $175 DS on Stars. Top 20 get tix. No way I can fold into the money as far a as I can tell I'm 27/27 or 26/27. Table had been pretty tight with bubble approaching. I have to call this right?

it isn't even close. You are getting better than 3:1 on your money. Besides, it is sooted.

I know you'd love to sneak into that top 20 but like the guys said, yes, you gotta play that.

Doesn't the fact that this is a non-percentage payout structure (same prize for 1-20) and the Gap concept + gaining FE pushing opposed to calling a push play into consideration here? I don't know if this is a strictly pot odds question.

Is hero's stack after posting or before? I think the real question is if you fold: would a double up give you enough to make the money, and do you have any folding equity if you push the next hand?

just a thought...

stack is before the BB post.
He has to call, and if wins this one hand gets the seat.
