I guess you've got a binary decision to make: All-in or fold.

Here's my reasoning: Pot at time of BB is 850. Nini_Mags (if calling) would be left with 1200. After the flop, Nini_Mags to act first - if you hit the flop, the only bet is all-in. If you miss, then a check (and then a bet by rsschifty) evokes a fold.

But, if Nini_Mags goes all-in pre-flop, the decision is now with rsschifty. For about half their stack as well. You're always going to an underdog if they call, so you've got to make your decision.

This sucks.
You can't call, so raise or fold.
With no reads, I'm chucking this.

I would fold. You're pretty comfortably in 3rd place and if have 19BB, not that short. I think there's a decent chance he has a lower pair, as many donks play them this way, but I just don't want to get in a coinflip situation vs. the donk, letting him off the hook in a way. You'll find a better spot than TT I think in this tourney.

I agree and did fold. However I was very tempted to push. Definetly not worth the risk at this point.

I guess the whole point of this post is how hard overbets are to read into.
