Default (109 speed) 5-handed, facing two all-ins with 77

Both players "knew what they were doing". I would certainly have called the button's push without the SB call. The SB also knows the button will be on a wide range, and of course, he's pretty desperate on 5BB himself. I would liberally put their ranges on button.. 25-30%, SB.. 15-20% (and especially most Ax).

I can afford to lose also of course, it wouldn't be a wonderful situation, but I'd be on the bubble with 5BB. Also, the bubble if I fold won't be so peachy, with the big stack to my immediate right.

So..

PartyPoker, Big Blind is t400 (5 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t7420)
CO (t2410)
Button (t2970)
SB (t2115)
Hero (t5085)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I voted fold, but I don't feel good about it.

Ive also voted fold, I dont think you need to take this gamble at this stage...but it is very close and could be swayed either way

I voted call given your ranges, I'm curious about the reasons people are folding..

I think button might even have been a bit looser, but probably not much.

I think I fold 8's and under, call with 9's and higher...Reasoning being that Ax has a decent chance of being two overs, and there are too many pocket pairs above you. The CO has few enough chips that you stand a good shot at finishing ITM...Though for about 5 seconds I'd be groaning when a 7 comes on the board--then look back and realize I was against T's and AJ.

You're really putting them on tight ranges. I think with 8's it's an autocall here, the 77s are tougher but I still think it's a call.

I think you have to call this but I'm not totally sure. Your ranges look to be too tight as well. I would say more like 35% for the B and 20% for the SB for people who play well. Yeah I just don't see how you can fold.

In a perfect world, you would have about 36% equity. Could someone maybe run an ICM? The equity distribution would be 36% for BB / 34% for SB / 30% for B.

Edit - I'm positive that this is a call. Probably not even a close decision but I'm not sure. Maybe my lazy ass will ICM it.
