no reads on villain

Fold, wait for better chance

[chuckpalms04]

easy fold

[kamel]

lucky &amp; chuck must be joking, here,
it's an easy call and it's not even close here.
What do you want to wait here. To get a better Ace than A7 and still have 10BBs? No, it won't happen generally. Most players from SB will push nearly any2 from SB, so A7 is far ahead of Villains Range, so call.

i havnt done the math but im going to assume that A7 is not that far ahead of an ATC push...would this change if villain had push the last 5 hands or so? or would a call in this instance be an over adjustment

My real question would be do you have a read on the UTG and Big stack? If they are sitting back and waiting for the dust to clear into the money, you might have a better opportunity to push through them...although would be very read dependant and I would not advise this unless they have shown they can fold.

i dont understand what your saying...

If current UTG and Big stack are currently on the side-lines, they may not be willing to put their money in against a push (i.e. Hero is the aggressor rather than the caller). If that is the case, I think A7 is marginal and it may be much more +EV to push into the bigger stacks than call the current raise. This is VERY dependant on our reads of these 2, however. If they are mixing it up as well, (as they probably should be), then we will again need a better than average hand at that time, so this call becomes much more of a decision.

I comes down to...are we going to be able to steal soon or not?

I inserted the hand in SNG-wiz.
If he pushes with &gt;40% it is +ev to call.
You can call if he pushes wider than {22+, A2+, K3+, Q9+, Q6s+, JT, J8s+, T9s}.
It is up to you to put him on a pushing range and conclude if it is +ev to call then.
