Default Re: Early in $11 MTT - Draw facing two all-ins - call for value?

The pot gives you approximately 1.75 : 1 odds. This means you need to have better than 36.4% chance of winning the hand to make the call right. If you think you have only 8 outs, you have only around 28%-30% (I don't have software to calculate the exact number here) chance to hit it. So fold.

If you have something like a pair the side pot will make the calculation more complicated but in this case I don't think you need to consider that.

On the other hand, if the SB had equal or more chips compared to you then your pot odds would have improved to 1: 2.3 and you would only need better than 30.3% chance which would make the call/fold a very marginal decision. I would still fold though.
