All-in early in tournament -- call or not?
It's about five minutes into the PokerStars 5+.50 8:10PM tournament. I'm in the big blind with no reads on anybody yet.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (8 handed) converter UTG (t1480) UTG+1 (t1650) MP1 (t1340) MP2 (t1800) CO (t1470) Button (t3130) SB (t1460) Hero (t1240) Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, CO calls t20, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, Hero checks. Flop: (t60) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t50</font>, CO calls t50, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t1440</font> Call all-in or fold? And why?

Re: All-in early in tournament -- call or not?
If you factor in that your opponent may be on a lower flush draw or a straight draw in addition to a made hand, then you're pretty much 50/50 here.
At a buy-in level that I'm comfortable playing at (whether it's $5 or $500 doesn't matter as long as I'm within my roll) I call. If I'm playing over my head, I might let it go. But that's the problem with playing over your head.

Easy fold. You'll get his chips eventually if he plays like this, wait until your ahead not drawing. [/ QUOTE ] But this is a 5+1, he could literally have anything :-\

Over your head in terms of buy-in, not skill level.

if you want to call and gamble just because its a 5+1 i would suggest moving up in stakes.
