A really tough sat decision (for me anyways)

fold.

Let me clarify: The blinds are basically going to eat me up. I can either call my stack with 77 or push one of four random hands behind me into gigantic stacks that will call with most anything.

And please elaborate instead of saying fold. My dog could say fold.

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] you're a slight favorite against the opponent's range

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] you're getting a huge overlay

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] if you fold this, you have less than 1.5 BB, so you have no FE

***AND***

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] it is very unlikely that you can fold your way to a seat

Add it all up and I think you have to call, but I'm definitely not a supersat expert. Maybe someone can identify the error in my analysis.

Later,

your dog can say fold?! I can't get mine to stop licking stranger.

How is this not a call? No way 5 people are getting knocked out before you are blinded out, and you have no FE to push in other spots, why would anyone advocate a fold here?

[KneeCo]

I don't know that you're ahead here and, more importantly, I'm looking for a post to open-push, that's why I fold. The blinds just passed you, so you do have some time (not much, but some). Also, it's not like your a tiny stack amongst giants, there's enough stack in the same field as yours that you have more FE IMO than you might think.

[Yuv]

he has no FE?!

It's a turbo sat. People will fold with 7 chips left.
