table is tight. most steals are uncontested. about 70 of 2000+ players left. average stack is ~33K I beleive. my image is tight i presume. Im getting almost 2 to 1 on the call. is this an easy call with Q10?

No.... How can you call off all your chips with less than 2-1 here? You still have some play left for a better spot here. You are clearly a dog to pretty much everything here...... I am no pro, but this seems like common sense to me to fold here [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Easy fold.

The pot is 35,790 and it costs you 23,690 to call. That's 3:2, not 2:1, which is not a good price for QTo.

Furthermore, since most pots have been uncontested, I'd have to assume that ROYAL_POWER is fighting back with a premium hand and has been folding his bad and marginal hands to blind steals.

also, what is the minimum pot odds that would dictate a call in this spot with Q10?

3-1 minimum for me..... Maybe 2.5 if I had monster stack. Then again this is all opinnion and I am by no means a pro [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
