At what point does it become correct to call with anything?

[Bluff1]

Lets say I'm in a trny and the blinds are 100/200. I'm on the big blind and another player moves all in on me and has me covered. How small does my stack have to be, after posting the blind, to make calling with anything correct?

(Any two random cards) vs. 72o: 72o is a 1.89 to 1 shot.
(A,?) vs. 72o: 72o is a 2.28 to 1 shot.
(A,K)o vs. 72o: 72o is a 2.08 to 1 shot.


So if all you wanted to know was, what the correct odds needed to make a +EV call with the worst hand in the deck against a late postion raiser who would raise with any Ace, you would only need over 2 to 1.

Of course, if you could sneak into the money by not playing then you may want to fold.

I actually had to make this dission a couple weeks ago. I chose not to play and two people survived the binds before it came back to me, then I was forced in and lost. I placed 6th instead of 5th. But the chances that both players would survive and I wouldn't was probably over a 10 to 1 shot. So not playing was a better option, I beleive.
