I should have made it a poll or something...

I think many will have very different views on what the best play is here.

Unfortunately no one seems to care. Maybe I should pull a Raptor and just start berating people.

Well my connection wasn't all that spectacular either.

I will comment on what ended up transpiring at the table after this hand in a bit. But I'm still interested in what players would do. So far everyone has been waffling on the answer but seems to think it's clear cut and/or obvious.

You all need to sack up and say what you'd do and why.

Yugo calls.

In addition to the "yeah, you have a pair", "prob a coin toss", etc. -- which I think are valid pro-call arguements (though I fold in a heart-beat usually), you have this:

With these problems, in a turbo, your 7.5bb's will soon be <3bb's - possibly within the next orbit.

PS can be pretty slow to recognize disconnects. General slow connectivity etc., will not stop the tourney clock. This could very well be the best chance you get to get a head of the pack/blinds to avoid a pending "push/call any 2"

I would fold if you think your connection is good enough that you will be able to go all in on future hands and steal from players sitting out. The only way I can see calling is if your connection was too poor to do this or that you thought there was a good chance of the internet going down completely for everyone or yourself. As chip leader after a win if the connection went down afterwards youd win by default.

I fold. If reversed and I was on button w/ 44 I push. Wouldn't it be better for you to push during the next two hands if folded to you? You are all about equal in chip stacks this is not a good opportunity. Besides, if he is pushing any 2 they are likely over cards to your hand, he also could be pushing a pocket pair (of which only 2 you dominate)... so if you show down, at best you are a slight favorite, and you're very likely dominated with any pair 5+
