Default Re: $16 turbo is this totally standard, or totally terrible?

Wow, I'm totally flabbergasted at the CO calling %. I think he calls closer to 90% based on what happened previous & his current stack. We all see some habitual limp/folders shorter than this but in a more random situation, he is almost always calling.

I think that hits the nail on the head. I wouldn't be surprised if it were more than 90%. Even if it isn't, you get called basically 100% of the time by someone in the hand. You're going to have to play this hand all the way against someone 99.5% of the time, and what if BB or UTG call? Or if it's a multiway? Then you're really screwed. I understand what you're trying to do, but you have basically no FE and are risking your tourney life on a pot that is only offering you okay odds. You also have an okay sized stack too, and the blinds have just hit you so you can just fold and find a muuuuch better spot. Way too many people have entered the pot, it's just too dangerous.
