How much did they curse you out after the hand?

[Dunkman]

I'm really struggling trying to figure out which call is worse, any thoughts?

[mornelth]

I'm not hating either one too much...

First call is worse than the second. Second call is fairly automatic getting 3-1 with OP's stack size.

Not that I think either call is particularly terrible, but I'm grading on a curve here.

Is this good play?

I see Hero gaining marginal +EV (like 700 chips or so) while running a 3 : 1 risk of dropping from a solid second in chips to a 4th with a substantial loss of future FE???

Well I was just joking, but I'll take a shot anyway

Umm, first call is bad because villian in the hand is so shallow, there's no way 54s is gonna pay off often enough here. With a read that villian is weak I could see calling and putting him to the test postflop, but like I say this is kinda tough because of how shallow villian is. I'd also rather be CO and Button to try this, but I suppose it's not bad from hijack and co.

I'm not at all sure we're winning 1 time in 4 against the 2 villians, and truthfully I suspect we're probably not.

it's not awful. it's not great, either. i would rather that
1)the original raiser had more chips and
2)your suited connector was higher, like an 87s or 98s.

[Nivek24]

Wow, both calls are horrible.
First call: never going make enough to justify that call.
Second call: If even one of them has a pair you are about a 5.5-to-1 underdog againts that single person.

Was this post a joke? lol
