I'm 57/125 and there is 97 seats. Stacks are pretty close though.

Were prolly not folding in... Id take it. His min raise here doenst mean its aa/kk it could well just be that he is trying to steal without putting more at risk... I think you need one more win to lock in a seat, id take the queens.

had you seen him minraise before? He committed himself even with the minraise so it seem like it wants action. Noit necessarrily KK/AA but likely very strong. If your table is fairly non-resistant to steals, I rather avoid any kind of showdown, but I don't know if I'm capable of folding the queens.

Reads? Has he minraised before? Are short stacks at the table able to take the blinds by minraising?

meh, people minraise KJ and all sorts of trash in these spots. Stick it in.

been meaning to ask forever...what does meh stand for?

meh = whatever = who cares = blah = i dunno...

As for the hand....

IF YOU PUSH... i'd guess that 60% of the time you win the pot and get the seat ($215-$77=$138). 40% you lose $77.

(215-77)*0.6 - 77*0.4 = +$52

if you fold... i'd guess you get the seat about 50% of the time (this # may be too high even)... so

(215-77)*0.5 - 77*0.5 = +$30.5

$52 > $30.5 =========== PUSH.

feel free to tweak the #s if you disagree.

Meh= that sound you make when you get it all in with aces and get called by J 9 offsuit and they flop the nut straight MEH (synonymous with sh@t, ugh, and da m it)
