A similar question arose in a recent thread and consensus seemed to be KK or AA only.

you mean the "nonsensus"...


not that this is call...I would need a lil bit better, even with the reads/background.

note that I have the shorty covered so if we both lose I get third.


Sigh, why do I even post hands anymore.

I'm not saying that AA or KK is my opinion. I'm saying that seemed to be what other players were saying. Although, the fact that you have the other stack covered, as mentioned, may change that.

I call here, but probably fold if I have a few more chips (around 1500-1600 total or more)

at 150/300 I think calling may be best.

haven't read anythign yet... but even with both of them pushing nearly any 2...i think you have a clear fold. 55 against 2 random hands is very weak, as they either have an overpair or 4 cards above you needing to pair to beat you.. Lay down the 55.

First time on the single table board... but this feels like a call to me, i think your equity is 25ish and when you call you hvaea 70% chance of 3rd or better (and when better, you're a contender for 1st) when you fold you're 60% for 3rd or better (and you're not looking pretty when shorty doubles)
.


Call.

Seems like a call to me.

You only have to beat the shortstack to get at least third(which is all you can hope for if you fold anyway), and if you manage to beat them both you're a title contender. With the reads you gave, I'd say this is a call. With no reads, I'd lean toward fold.
