Weak tight? Stack sizes were a big thing.

I think this is probably a pretty easy call, especially with the shorty's money in there too.

What do you think about sk0oby21 -- I know the pure ICM solution is a clear call.

Well seeing that he folded preflop and I don't know his hole cards, I think he's probably a really nice guy who enjoys long walks on the beach, baseball, and loves pets.

call instantly

As long as scman isn't solid he's reraising a lot less for value.

I don't like it. You'll run into a lower PP so much more often than AK, AA, and KK that you're losing out on a lot of chips by folding.

Stack sizes are nearly irrelevant (in the way you are thinking of) when the short stack has 17 BB. Call.

Listen to Adanthar. I hear he knows what he is talking about.

When you word it that way--17BB--I feel kinda dumb laying down :-)

His name is no longer blue so he's probably turned donkey in the last day or so! Fold!
