Default Who doesn\'t call this all-in here?

I’m getting over 2.5 to 1 on my money. I know my hand sucks, but I think you have to call with any 2 cards in this particular situation, because of the pot odds.

without running it through eastbay's program, I'd guess it is correct to call with something like J-10, but not 6-2

You only have to be winning better than like 27% to call this, and you're better than that against everything but an overpair. If SB's been super tight and has blinded down, though, I might fold this since with 150/300 blinds, you're FE is much higher with ~1400 than with <1100.

Me.

This is not a cash game.

Chip EV <> prize $ EV.

It's not even +$EV unless you put the pusher on just about any two.

You don't need a strong hand to call here, but I don't call with trash.

The fold is probably good for your table image too.

If by 'good for your table image' you mean 'people will yell at you for not eliminating him'. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm confused in this situation as well. The bubble is one bust away and those 380 extra chips give your stack more influence.

However, that edge is, well, an edge. Maybe I'm more willing to call the further away we are from a level change.
