Fold or Call? Satellite to Stars $615 WSOP
I'm about 12 of 17 left in a $80 Satellite to the $615 WSOP Sunday Satellite with 10 getting seats.
Crankyman was pretty solid and hadn't made a ton of moves, but had re-stole a couple times before. I was probably the perfect target for a re-steal from him based on my stack size and image, but even if he doesn't have a premium it was still likely a race. Take a race to put myself in a position to essentially guarantee a seat or fold to not risk getting knocked out this close? In a normall MTT, I'm probably calling here to put myself in a position to win. Blinds: 200/400 + 25 Seat 1: hdtv (15862 in chips) Seat 2: DP388 (6475 in chips) Seat 4: gatormark (6738 in chips) Seat 5: bower4 (1113 in chips) Seat 6: dibsy (13479 in chips) Seat 7: crankyman (7579 in chips) Seat 8: macattack4 (1961 in chips) Seat 9: jdepa01fcp (6206 in chips) *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to DP388 [8s 8d] hdtv: folds DP388: raises 800 to 1200 gatormark: folds bower4: folds dibsy: folds crankyman: raises 6354 to 7554 and is all-in macattack4: folds jdepa01fcp: folds DP388: ??? |

This close in a sat? Clear fold. You are not looking to accumulate all the chips, only enough to finish 10th or better. Wait for a better opportunity and let a few others bust out first.

This one's probably close pot-odds wise - you're getting about 3:2 and figure to be about that to his range. Regular tournament I'd lean towards calling, this stage of a satellite I'm gonna lay it down to a "solid" opponent and see how things pan out.

Re: Fold or Call? Satellite to Stars $615 WSOP
Your M was about 7 and his M was about 8. Medium pairs are tough. This guy really didn't have to get involved yet so he probably had something. only 6 pairs bigger than yours and lots of over card possibilities. Probably a better move in this situation is to go all in before the flop. You have opened the pot and puts a little tougher decision on the other player. Also could have just called to see a flop cheap. However I don't always like this decision. but unfortunately the call or the raise before the flop probably will cost you more chips. He may have had the nuts to begin with.

Re: Fold or Call? Satellite to Stars $615 WSOP
Fold preflop, and it isn't even close. People open raising in ep for 3X with mid pocket pairs in late stage satellites is the reason I win a lot of satellites. Wait for a MUCH better spot to risk any chips. As played, you must fold to the re-raise.
