If I'm using SGA correctly, than pairs down to 99 are pretty clear calls against any two. 88 is very marginal, 77 and below clear folds. AKs, AK, A whatever, clear folds. If he has any live cards against these high card combos, it's not worth it.

I don't believe the short stack is small enough to justify a fold in this situation. Far too he will double up off the too loose big stack and you will be back to square 1. I call this hand because winning almost assures an ITM finish.

One of us is doing something a little bit wrong. I get TT+ for the +$EV calls if he has any two.

If he's on the maniac setting only KK+ is good.

I don't think he's necessarily on any two here, but there are other things to consider - like what happens if you fold and BB calls. So, at this point, I'm still down with QQ.

btw in case I wasnt clear I think this is an extremely clear fold and that calling is pretty much terrible.

Also this IHateUballer guy is an idiot, everytime I make some really obvious play against him and he has a good hand and I get lucky he starts cursing me out like a moron and telling me how stupid I am. Its happened a few times now on different accts of mine.

ahaha, his aka is worldsgrtst. hes quite solid actually. but then again, what do i know about being solid. holla

Oh, he's worldsgrtst? What a prick. I usually play the $22s, but I made it to a mini-step5 the other day. My seat was between worldsgrtst and sheetsowns. Anyway, I get shortstacked in maybe level 4 and worldsgrtst pushes from my SB. I call with TT, he turns over KK. After a T hits, he goes off on me for a few minutes about how bad a play I made (which is obviously nonsense). I still don't have that many chips and my next BB Sheets pushes from UTG. I call with 88, he shows A-J. He hits a Jack but I catch a four flush to win the hand. worldsgrtst spends another five minutes explaining how I am the luckiest mother f'er on the planet. Happily, I outlasted him and made a little cash for fourth.

Glad to see a couple of specific posters who agree with me.

To those who still think you should call--your chip position is of extreme importance here.

Yeah, me. I had the positions mixed. Still getting similar results for pairs though when I have the settings at "*" for any two. For "M", I get QQ as a fold.

And I don't think it's implasusible for him to push any two or awfully close to it. If you reverse things and have the short stacks at [L]oose then it's only marignally bad to push 32o here for him.
