3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises all-in t375</font>, SB calls t255 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t735)</font>, Hero?

SB has been pretty tight, doubled up with 66 vs. my TT a few hands ago. BTN is not the factor, but I'm affraid I will be dominated by SB so often... On the other hand I have less than 3bb after posting. Call and push any flop? Fold?

Youre getting 990:135 ~ 8:1 odds I think you have to call here as you have position on SB and if you spike an ace you very well may be good.

I think you have to at least call in this spot. I probably just shove it in as A hi is decent in this spot. You're so short anyways that you just have to find a ok spot to get your chips in and a4o isn't that bad.

agreed, blinds are going to kill you and ace high is better than what you could be getting it in with

Folding here would be terrible.

isnt this a mandatory shove??? the pot is like ~1000 and we only have 700. if u r saying call, does that mean that the dry pot is enough to protect us from getting bluffed post flop???

I shove...I really don't like calling. A4o is not a multiway hand and chipping up here is much more important than knocking out the button.

I really don't understand sb call - he should isolate from bb and raise if he has anything,instead of giving such huge odds, thats weird. but as it gets with such odds at least a call is mandatory, and i wonder which is best push or a call, push wont make sb fold anything i guess.. while there are some sorts of flop he might -check fold from sb with some hands. we can always call hes push on any flop and get back to push pre scenario.. thoughts..
