Default $27: Considering T8o overcall ITM with big stack.

Button (11/9) is a small winner and sb (25/16) is fishbowl. Neither has been aggressive.

Hero (t10850)
Button (t945)
SB (t1705)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

sooooo..btn has atc and you are 60/40 with sb and it costs ~500 to join the ~2300 pot.
why not?

worst case scenario you still have 10k stack and BTN changed stacks with SB.

Calling is fine here. You have great pot odds and implied odds here. With button AI, nothing awful can really happen by calling.

The call of the SB is weird. He either has a great/premium hand and wants you to jump into the pot or he is scared of busting and we have FoldEquity. If he is an idiot who first calls and then folds against an All-In then it might be good to push here and play against the Smallstack HU for a big pot filled with dead monezzz [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I would certainly call here because it is likely to be checked down. Sometimes pushing is an option as well.

Edit: I though Hero is on the bubble [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
I guess my post doesn't make much sense then cause you have close to 0% FE... calling is best !

Yeah, call.

Also, you have the best SN and avatar combo.
