The call is cEV+, as you have significant pot odds. Due to final table payouts and your having a very favorable play of pushing yourself with 5xBB, I think I would pass.

betgo, I agree it's an easy fold if I had 5bb after posting. Unfortunately I don't have 5bb, I have 3.5.

True betgo, but winning this hand essentially moves him up a spot and gives him a much much better shot of moving up more. If he folds this, one of the other short stacks gains a lot of chips (yes BB could still knock him out), and you may not even have a good opportunity to steal in the next orbit (when you need to). I think this is a call, although I can see arguments for folding.

People ignoring BB's calling range are making a huge mistake.

That's true, I completely mis-read his chip stack with so many digits. With him being soooooo big he should be calling reeeaaaaally wide here, where you're either a huge dog or at best a slight edge.

This might make it a fold. I'm not positive though because you still aren't guaranteed a chance to steal, and if you don't get one in the next orbit you have no FE.

Re: 100r: Short stacked final table hand
 

I fold here because BB is getting a good price to knock people out and at 100r the BB is prob calling way too wide and we often have 3 outs when against 2 random hands.

shaun, against two random hands, we have a [censored] Ace. for all the Aces that have us drawing to three-outs, we have all the 3's, drawing to three-outs. Obviously, not all the 3's are calling, but the point is, if you start making BB's range really wide, it doesnt [censored] us up that much, cause our equity is enough to compensate.

Re: 100r: Short stacked final table hand
 

I don't have pokerstove on my here but A3o vs 2 random hands prob has really bad equity. I think you prob will endup with better equity with a lot of hands you would be surprised by and I think MP is not shoving any 2 here due to the fact that BB can and will call him really wide here.

I'd be ecstatic that he's pushing with BB left to act, and try to double up another hand.

Re: 100r: Short stacked final table hand
 

Yeh, has anyone here heard of pot odds? I calculate you are calling 44K to win 71K, assuming BB folds. So you are getting 1.73-1 putting in 38% of the money. If BB calls, it may not be that big a disaster. When you consider you are about 50% versus the raiser's range, this is probably cEV+ enough to be a call.
