I would have to call. You are getting 2-1 on your money and you have a very good hand. Also the way you are betting makes it seem like you are weak. the 350 into 500 then 800 into 1200 look like you are trying to buy the pot for cheep, or are value-block betting a marginal holding.

Call and be up against pair + draws a lot of the time it seems.

this has got to be the easiest call ever

Call and you should be against something like 8T..Or a bluff that tries to exploit the bubble tightness. I doubt he would go all in in this spot with 79 and probably not even with AT. If he has a low set..Well there's nothing you can do about it.

I disagree. He obviously has a little something, he's a good stack making a strong move on the big stack. Although this could be a bluff or a weak hand I think often times its a good ace or two pair or a set. I would make the call but I would hardly call it an easy call. I think that you're going to behind a lot, but not most, of the time but you still have to call considering the situation.

Call. Probably a pair + a flush draw. I do have to agree that he's probably stronger than you think he is, but you're still ahead most of the time.

id call; i know its not fun to be the one calling the all in on the bubble but your hand is just too powerful against someone with potentially donkish stats without a read in a lowish buy in sng.

he could easily have picked up a flush draw, slowplayed A6 or played AQ/AK very weirdly. an oesd type draw is also in his range. i think youre too far ahead to fold.

[drzen]

Call and expect to lose quite often. I think with your decent bet he just won't expect you to fold all that often.
