I gotta assume he's pushing any two, since he probably won't get another chance to act first. If he has a hand ...good for him...but I'm calling.

Yes. You're good even against a top 15% range. He's pushing way more than that.

Absolutely! I do believe I am calling with 23o here. No one is a small enough stack to wait out, so you gotta gamble here.

Can someone please explain why this is? Not disagreeing. Even with allt he extra money in the pot it is a decent chunk of your stack.

You are calling t500 into a total pot of t2000.

3:1 odds. That's huge. Plus it's short-stack, and you really can't have him doubling up for free.

Great point. Worth repeating. In fact...
