Default Calling other shorty\'s all-in on the bubble.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t150/t300
4 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t1515
Button: t1765
Hero: t1180
BB: t9040

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises all-in t1515</font>, Button folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero calls all-in t1030</font>, BB calls t1215 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t2845)</font>

This might be the worst call I've ever made. SNGPT says this is -2.6EV And it doesn't factor in the overcall of the big stack behind me! Am I better calling here against a opponent I can hurt, than taking my chances later? The math here scares me to death.

It's always better to be raising than calling.

In this situation your hand isnt strong enough to call + the big stack could easily call here and knock the other shortie out.
