Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter

UTG (t1205)
Button (t2125)
SB (t1560)
Hero (t3110)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

UTG pushes. SB pushes.

Don't know who pushed. Doesn't matter though. I think I am ahead of their range enough to call.

I bought SnGA today, and I am eagerly awaiting the activation code so I can stop peppering the board with these sorts of questions.

Dear Aquashaft,
id call, they're both small and about to be cut by the blinds so i think their hands might be inferior to yours....plus you could double up

if, on the other hand, button was one of the two players pushing i might fold

btw - freudians avatar was the one i was referrig to when you showed me that deformed guy (you should give him the link) lol

But if you fold you are ITM with a stack of 3100.

If you call and win you have a great chance of 1st.

If you call and lose you are in trouble.

Guess this is a test of risk aversion more than anything.

I'd fold here btw. Against one of them I like TT. Against both (even with weird ranges) there are so many cards on the board that will hurt me.

Hell yeah. Especially with your stack. Use those chips! He'd have to be the tightest bubble player in the world for me to fold this.

Edit -- Good thing I'm retarded. Didn't notice the SB push as well. I'd still call with your stack, but I like it quite a bit less then before (when I couldn't read correctly). You'll still have some chips to play with should you lose, and one of them will either be crippled or eliminated.

Fold and root for the SB.

Sadly, I screwed up the details of this hand.

UTG pushed for 1205, and UTG just CALLED the 1205. (He didn't push.)

Absent all reads, and looking at bet amounts only, this is either weakness or a trap. When in doubt, I tend to go with weakness, because it's a low buy-in.

I'd call. Chances are great that you'll be ITM either way, and if you take them both out and have a 4:1 chip advantage heads up, that would be pretty huge.
