Default $22- call two ai with 77?

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t200/t400
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t2740
UTG+1: t5380
CO: t3580
Hero: t1440
SB: t2800
BB: t4060

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises all-in t2740</font>, UTG+1 folds, CO calls t2740 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t3340)</font>, Hero?

I think UTGs range is 33+, A7s+, A9o, KJs+, QJs, KQo
CO is a complete idiot and may call with any two pretty cards. I am not sure.

Yes, i would really like to see the elaboration also.
My thinking is: - he is pretty short, 3.5 BB left...there is still some people at the table, so he will see some more hands.
I think fold is also good because one already pushed, got called, caller has to have something in his hand! Even if your read is, that he is an idiot, but calling for almost all of his chips with nothing?
And if you're not sure, that also is a good reason for fold.

I'd be folding to the UTG push, CO's call makes it even easier.. Range for calling here would be like QQ+ AKs.

*Even if they both have a PP &lt;7 you're not that much of a favourite..*

with those blinds, a table this full and the chance to triple up, i'd be tempted to call.

this is very bad. if they both have a PP under 7s you're a 67%+ favorite to win the hand, while the others are 18.5% and 15%, which i'm not passing up anyday of the week.

I would probably hold my nose and call as well, especially if the blinds are going up again before they hit you.

That's not the point I was trying to make, that would be the absolute best case scenario but given the action it's pretty much impossible. I'd say you'll be up against a bigger pair and two-face cards nearly every time here.

don't forget that you don't just double up in case you win.
