Default Re: Do you call heads up in this situation?

Jbrochu has it right. Head's up is a game of cat and mouse. I would look for a spot to drop the hammer on this guy. Sometimes that spot never comes, in which case you eventually are pushing to take blinds or double up. Lot's of ways to win when head's up. Calling and hoping for a coin flip is not one of them that is going to get you consistent positive $EV results.

You have 21 BB. Why on earth are you considering calling here?

Why? Mabey because my equity in the hand is greater than
the odds the pot is offering?

Why don't you want to consider this possibility?
After the limp, I have 3064 behind and there is an
additional 300 in the pot, so the pot is offering me
1.1 to 1. Many hands that he might have, such as
55, 44, 33, 22 my equity exceeds that so its a clear cut
call.

It comes down to what range of hands you can put the
opponent on, but I don't see how you can just dismiss
a call out of hand without considering this question.

Suerte,
Jonathan

You are a 52:48 dog to a random hand, for crying out loud.

The fact that you ask this question means that you seriously need to reevaluate your SNG game.

Ummm, try assigning some other likely holdings for villain such as any two over cards or a PP bigger than your cards.

Mix it all up and I'm pretty sure 1.1-to-1 odds stink in this spot.

Very very very very easy fold.

You are HU against someone playing 20 tables. At least try to exploit him.
