Donkey Test - Call 5BB All-In?

Guys, "calling because you have the chance to eliminate a strong player" is simply stupid here.

If you are getting about 2.2-3:1, you sort of have to call. If you aren't, you can fold.

I voted fold because it didn't say anything about an ante. With one I'd call, unless it was a ridiculously small ante (for example, I think Party used to have a 1/16 SB ante).

Agreed. The guy has to be pushing almost 100% to make it a call without them. I don't think any decent player is doing that vs a big stack.

I voted call because there has to be antes at these blinds.

Since the problem doesn't state if there are antes or not, but it does state precisely the size of the blinds, your stack, and your opponent's stack, I think it is fair to assume there are no antes. Otherwise, the author of the problem was quite misleading. It also doesn't say how many players are at the table which you would have to know if considering the size of the antes.

I (re)took the donkey test (apparently they changed a lot of their questions since the last time I took the test), and was trying to search for a thread that may have the updated answers. I believe this question was a repeat from the first version, and the answer was "call", even though I am still skeptical about this answer. I guess the author's assumption was that this guy is pushing any two (or at the least the top 80% of his hands), and 1.5-1 odds is enough to justify a call with T high against this range. If anyone has links to answers, I would mucho appreciate.

Thank you,
