$109s - Is This An Autocall?

[Unarmed]

Villain has folded his last two SBs to me with a similar stack. UTG is my b*tch.

Button (t5745)
SB (t915)
Hero (t2065)
UTG (t1275)

Probably is regardless, even more so with UTG in the BB next...I'd call.

[schwza]

hmm... i'd fold. you're not getting much of an overlay in chipEV, so i'd guess -$EV.

[fnord_too]

~2:1, I call that with those stacks (and get berated when I give someone with AQo a "brutal beat". Man I love party poker.)

[ir0nphist]

It doesn't look like he's pushing just any 2 if he's been folding to you previously. Plus, since he's the short stack, on the bubble, pushing into the 2nd place stack. . . I think you have to give him credit for a decent hand..
So now that we figure to lose this call most of the time, where will it put you if you lose? You will go from 2nd stack to 4th, while being on the bubble, which is a tough position to be in. If you win, you'll still be 2nd stack.

It seems like there's a lot to lose here by calling, with little to gain.

My concern would be calling and losing FE for that player on my right who is currently my biotch. I call though, but it's close and not an autocall IMO.

I was going to say autocall, but that was assuming he's going in with any two which seems not the case. Having UTG be your bitch I'm assuming means he's folding to your all-ins so folding and pushing next hand is a good play.

[BadMongo]

I don't think this is an autocall - in fact I'd be inclined to fold. You're getting better than 2:1, so a call is definately +cEV, however I'm not sure it is +$EV since most of the time your stack will be crippled. Your read that the SB is being too selective with his pushes is crucial here, as this significantly reduces your chances of winning. If he was pushing any two it would be an autocall.

Your hand is just so pretty! [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I don't think it's a trivial call (and I would fold sometimes) but calling should be fine.
