Even a loose player should respect a tight players EP raise, when he is close to the felt, and for him to make a move here is just bad (substantially EV-)

Nobody is in EP. Hero is BU. Villain1 is SB. Villain2 is BB. And this is a fantastic spot for Villain1 to run a move on Hero here, if he believes Hero is tight.

This hand is all about tournament standing, and w/ 20XBB its an easy call. IMO hero made the right decision for the right reasons, the rest is results oriented.

[/ QUOTE ]
I could construct a variety of examples where calling would probably be mathematically wrong where Hero would have 20xBB.

If hero had 300K the decision would be tougher.

Still a call, assuming our read on SB is the same.

I'd have a hard time putting SB on a range that included k2, and I certainly wouldn't expect it on the last 2 tables of 1000 player event from the CL. However, anything is possible online.

K2, perhaps not. AQ-AT? Sure. Worse aces? Maybe. KQ? Probably. KJ? Possibly. If Villain1 is a solid LAG, and reads Hero as tight, all of those plays probably look good to him too. Hero SHOULD be scared here (hey, like you are) because of the SB's stack size, so SB SHOULD be taking advantage of that to bully Hero off what looks like a position raise. (And BB is basically a non-factor in the hand, because the real profit here is going to come from the SB no matter what else happens.)
