In a $55, what do you normally expect a player to have to make a bet like that?

In theory, it can be a lot of weird crap but it's more likely he has a medium pair as opposed to the typical $11 97o.

So at a $55, you would fold to avoid getting on the wrong side of a coin flip at that stage of the tourney?

Yeah, because there's no dead chips to overlay it.

I'm learning. I'm understanding. More dead chips make up for being on the wrong side of the coin flip. That makes sense.
