Do you make this bubble call?
We are down to 4 players so aggression is everywhere, someone is raising all-in on almost every hand. Is this a no-brainer call because of the blinds? I only ask because if I call I am either in a coinflip getting good odds or dominated. If this is an easy call what about 33 or 22? If this is a fold where do you change your mind?

I respectfully fold.
Imagine if you were playing a Step 5 higher... Would you take a 50% chance to become a significant shorty and be forced to push any two into 3 very large stacks? |

My point was to treat each decision with the weight of importance of a Step 5 higher, nothing more.

dont call w 44. you are either:
1) a coinflip; or 2) a 20% dog. if you lose, you will hurting. let him have this hand. |

what if he has 88-TT?
Any read on pusher, is he loose as hell, then he may have one or even two cards lower than the pocket pairs I mentioned. |

Re: Do you make this bubble call?
You are definately right, the best I can hope for here is a coinflip. I also think that most of the time, that is what it will be, so those 1.9:1 odds are pretty enticing, especially since I am on the good side of the coin.
The Button here is not a tight player, nor is he a maniac, he is just your average $20 player, he doesn't have 72 here, but probably not a big hand either. I think from a pot odds point of view this is an easy call, but will folding earn more $$ in the long run? If I fold this villian will have T1500 and I will be at T1545, making us equally short stacks. Do you call with 55,66, or 77? |

Re: Do you make this bubble call?
Easy fold, but I call with TT+
You should be looking to call with a hand that is better than a coinflip |

Re: Do you make this bubble call?
My first instinct is to call.
When running the numbers through eastbay´s tool, its 2.1% +ev to call if opponent is loose (which it sounds like they are from your post). Suerte, Jonathan |
