How the hell is this a call ?

How does ICM tell you that this is a call ? You put him on 20% or something ?

Fold, I really do not think this is the spot to call off. Yeah he can have any pair, unlikely lower than 55, but so many more times overcards; we're flipping against his range. Unless he's doing that all the time there's no need to get involved there. Have TT to call, if I read correctly that this is 100/200.

I think he has like 77-JJ, AJ-AK. So I would probably fold this and call with tens.

hmm this must be wrong. if he has that range you are flipping vs his pair range and ahead of his high cards so its a call.



anyways i call intuitively but its close. im rusty but we are enough handed where bubbble effects dont factor in enough. this is a snap call with JJ, an easy all with TT, and i thnk a slim call with 99.

No I agree with you Fluores, JJ or TT is a call, 99 is marginal at best but I guess a call w/o reads.

I also agree that in these situations I think about the skill level at the table and decide if Im one of the better players or not. If I am then I can probably exploit someone's weakness later on, If I feel that I might be a weak player at the table then taking a flip for the CL is fine w/ me.
