Dark All In--What Do You Call With?
 

It's a 10-20 blind no-limit home game. Last hand of the night. Under the gun player goes all in for $2000 before the cards are dealt. All fold to the last man, which is you.

What is the minimum hand(s) you need to call with and have the edge no matter how slight?

Re: Dark All In--What Do You Call With?
 

Probably the same hand I would normally call an all in with.
I don't think I would flop a coin with 100bb at at a 10-20 game just beause he went all in blind.

Assuming that everyone looked first before folding would improve your EV as they presumably folded inferior hands. I would need to have Q7o to call, which is a slight edge over a random hand (51.8/41.2)

If you are sitting at a game, you need to have the BR to make that call.

Are there other hands similar in probability to Q7. Such as J9, K2 or 78s, etc.

Re: Dark All In--What Do You Call With?
 

Only you can answer that question. How much do you want to gamble? Would it hurt to lose $2K?
If yes, call only as 75% favorite. TT or better.
67% good enough? 88+ and AKs.

Re: Dark All In--What Do You Call With?
 

Oh, you're willing to gamble.

Any pair, ace or king.
Q3s, Q5o, J6s, and J8o.
any two suited 8 and above.
T9o.

How big of a BR would you need to make this call?

I'm guessing that you have no idea.

Anyways, I'd call with something like Ax Kx but not Qx, a6 is I think like 54-56% vs a random hand so that sounds good enough for me.

FWIW I have no idea what kind of a roll I would have to have to make that call either.

edit: also, let's assume that you didn't have enough of a BR to make that call with a 1% edge.. it would probably still be quite +EV to sit in the game and just not take those sorts of flips, and perfectly within acceptable RoR for your bankroll too.

If your'e properly rolled you would and should!

Re: Dark All In--What Do You Call With?
 

22+, Any Ace, Any King. Queens down to Q7.
