Default Re: Calling allins with low PP ITM

Bottom Lines:

- You have 12xBBs
- You are ITM
- You have position at the table such that you will likely not be pushing into a stack that covers you, unless a hand changes relative chipstacks in the near future. That is, you will be pwning shortie's BB whenever BTN does not enter a pot.
- If you win the coinflip you will be in excellent position to come in first. Then again, if you lose, you will likely have no chance of coming in any place but third.
- You can find spots to a) get chips while avoiding showdowns and picking up the SB/BB which are a significant % of chips in play; b) get your chips in with a greater advantage than 55/45.
