Re: Big blind all in with less than bb - what is needed to call?
You mean if a stack is forced all-in from the BB, what is needed to call, right?
It depends on stack sizes. If you have a deep stack, call with any two cards. If you have a short stack, either shove all-in over the top or fold.
One move I like to do is if you're in this situation and you have multiple limpers (more than 3) in front of you, I like jamming with any two cards if you have a large enough stack to induce fold equity. Your opponents are limping with any two and will have a hard time calling your shove.
What happens is that by jamming all-in like that, you receive (Big blind - BB stack) * # of limpers in front automatically since that would be a side pot. Then you're heads up for the main pot.
