Default Re: [theory] good chances for call..

[ QUOTE ]
situation smth like this:
Hero(BB)(7BB)
SB - (3BB)
Button - (10BB)
CO - (12BB)

CO folds, Button folds, SB is allin. U have good chances to call on any 2:
u need to bet 2.5 BB in 4.5 BB pot. But if u lose, next hand u on SB and after postin a blind your stack will 4BB, and u will have very small fold equaty against BB...
lets imagine that u exactly know the hand of SB. What chances do u need for your hand to call? 50/50? 40/60? 60/40?

How will your decision change if there are 5 players instead of 4, and 5th has 10BB?

You already have 1 BB out, hes pushing ATC, you call with ATC for 2 BBs. You give yourself a chance to knock the player out and put you even with the other 2 to get a better spot in the money. This beats the hell out of folding hoping to save a little FE and getting slaughtered as bigstacks ram bets down your bubble-fearing throat

Unless he has an overpair to BOTH my cards, im awwwwwl inn

And we cant say how it changes with 5 people cause that depends on new stack dispersement
