Stars $320: FT facing all-in w/ AJs

[RandALLin]

In the $100+9R I might would debate calling. Since this is the $300 w/ 20 minute levels though, combined w/ his limp/fold earlier, I fold.

Also, I agree w/ the majority of whatever curtains usually says.

It sure feels tough to fold a semi-premium hand against the other short stack at the final table, but I still think this is a close fold. General tournament theory, and particularly as a short (yet still with a "playable" stack) stack at a final table clearly will tell that the last 100k chips in your stack are worth significantly more than another 100k, chip per chip.

Getting about 1.3-to-1 on calling here, I'd say you need to be 50% against his range to be calling.

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 50.346% 46.49% 03.86% 509471528 42255602.00 { AJs }
Hand 1: 49.654% 45.80% 03.86% 501891828 42255602.00 { 22+, A2s+, KJs+, ATo+, KQo }

An UTG 10 big blind push, I'd say that's an optimistic, but possibly correct, range (given that some players almost refuse to take another round of blinds w/10bb stacks and therefore will be pushing very wide here. Others that are pushing "correctly" may be pushing a little tighter than my range).

I agree with what RandALLin said, except I would use proper grammar.

Stoned + not graduating hs = bad grammar but good at teh pokar.

In a vacuum I'd probably call and not be too happy about it (if you can be unhappy in a vacuum, not sure). With more specific reads on villain and table I might fold or call, depending on info. Folding isn't a big mistake here IMO.

I think you'd be very unhappy in a vacuum, because there would be nothing for you to breathe.

Do we factor in that we have <1 BB left if we lose? I think this is actually reasonably important b/c of the antes giving a lot of equity when we are forced allin. I would probably call here but fold if the guy had me slightly covered.
