Default Question to ChrisV

Chris, if you changed this situation to where you are not the BB, would you still call?

Or rather, let's say exact same stack sizes. Button is the pusher, and you're the SB. Would you call here?

No (and I'd reraise allin if I was going to do anything).

My instinct is that it's a terrible call. I think it's better than my instinct gives it credit for, but still not great. The objections are:

- Raiser's hand will probably be a bit better. This isn't a big objection in view of the pot odds and the wide range he will still have.
- BB may overcall. If he does I am at least beaten and likely dominated.
- I have to call 200 more, so the pot odds aren't quite as good.
- If I fold, BB may act as policeman. I would prefer that. Also, he may have a better hand than me. If raiser has Ax and I make BB fold a small pair that's a minor disaster.
- I don't mind as much when the raiser is stealing from one of the other stacks. He's welcome to do that every round if he likes.

I think it's overall a bad call, but not horrible.
