Party Poker 20+2 No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (4 handed) converter

Button (t854)
SB (t5734)
Hero (t976)
UTG (t436)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t436 (All-In)</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero only needs to call t136

why should I call?

why should I fold?

any thoughts would be great!!!

at first i was thinking maybe fold. but i ran it into my pokerstove.. face cards PP, AX, K-8s and a few more hands.. you are a 2-1 against which is a "sure why not"

NOW LETS ALL POST THE EXACT SAME HAND SINCE STRASSER POSTED THAT AA HAND.

That hand was completely different. That AA hand is about keeping shorty alive so you could continue to steal. This one is not.

Alright, who voted for fold?

Maybe someone thought Hero was SB....in which case I'm fine with folding...

With hero in the BB there....I'm planning to autocall the short stack with anytwo....in fact, if I'm worried I could fold I'll cover my hole cards before they're dealt.

Call, call, call.

Pot is 896, your call costs 136. You're getting 6.6:1 from the pot and 136 is pretty insignificant to your stack.

You're a 14.5:1 dog to queens...8:1 to aces (in your suits)...in truth you're probably closer to a 2:1 dog. Call, then work on button.
