Re: Short-handed play
why should he call?
to play devil's advocate, one player has barely over 1bb and the hero has twice as many chips as 3rd place. if hero wins the race for his stack against the button, he's in a dominating chip position, but it seems unnecessarily risky.

Re: Short-handed play
Button is pushing into you because you can't call and he is right. Fold.

Re: Short-handed play
I agree...I think I fold. Decent chance you are in for a coin flip...even if you are not...what are you hoping the other guy has? You think he has an ace or a king? You want to risk your tourney on it given the other stack sizes and the blinds?

Re: Short-handed play
Villian is pushing a ton of hands and many of them hero has dominated. I didn't run the numbers on how large of a favorite hero is over X hand range but when you do that and look @ the ICM I would say it turns out to be +EV to call. I may be wrong but I don't think so. I'll run it later when I'm on my own computer.

Re: Short-handed play
I don't care if ICM says that it is +ev...I am folding everything but KK and AA in this spot.

If big stack shows you A2 you still can't call here.

Re: Short-handed play
Well I'm outnumbered by players with more experience at SnGs then me so I guess I lose =] I only started playing 10-man SnGs last week so I guess they know best. Leaks like this from playing 6-man SnGs and NL Ring is why I started low. I'm still curious to run the numbers though.
