Default Re: This is a call, yes? Reality check please.....

Tough, tough, tough decision. Don't let the results cloud your judgment.

First, blinds and antes assure that you will have to make a move at some point to get into the money. Is this the time?

Assume UTG+1 pushes with any paint or Ace, what does OTB push with in response? I think it's any PP>4, any Ace, Any paint with 7+ kicker. That's a big range and he's looking to keep everyone else out. If he AA, KK or AK, wouldn't he just to call and encourage an overcaller?

Best case for us (Wishful thinking?): UTG+1 has one over and OTB has smaller PP.

Likely case: Between the 2 there are at least 2 different overcards and we're in a three-legged race.

Worst Case (Least Likely): Both have us dominated.

If I don't call and OTB picks up this pot, he can easily make the rest of the tournament Hell for us by using those extra chips to push hard on us.

I'd call.
