$22 2 table SNG on stars. On first hand, villian pushes all in to steal blinds. Second hand, you pick up AKo. Villian pushes all in again. Do you call?

obv

Of course. Sure sometimes he picked up a real hand on the second hand, but even a lot of real hands are races, and you couldn't be surprised if you dominated him. Can't let a nutjob run over the table if you're looking down at big slick.

Whooo-hooo, 1500 risk to steal 30, yeah!

Call.

Gotta call. You are 61% to win against a random hand.

Even if someone behind you wakes up with a hand you are 36% to win if the second guy in has 66-AA,AQ+

[FeNeF]

Yes.

It makes a difference how many are left to act, but not enough of one that you'd ever fold.

Thanks for this advice. I looked up the villian on Sharkscope and saw he was a complete fish, so I folded thinking I'd get to outplay him later in the tourney. Unfortunately I didn't get that chance (you all know the story) but I'll know to call for the future.

thx.

uhhhh maybe he's a complete fish because he jams every hand preflop until someone picks up a good hand and busts him

oh, but you folded. so you thought you had better than a 61% chance to outplay him before his entire stack before someone else did?

[setminer]

actually I did. but i've been running badly lately and I wanted to play some poker, not just push and pray. However, this thread is making me rethink my actions and my future strategy. quite helpful. thx.
