PS ($12) 180 turbo V-shortstacked Call push (98)?

[bluffbetter]

I think this is a close decision, but I'm almost certainly going to have to put my stack in with a marginal hand very soon. There are about 35 left 18 get paid.

No reads because I'm new to the table, but this min-raise is fishy. Antes are 50.

I make it that if I call and noone else does, my call will be 28.61%.

You were small blind, lets see cards for one more orbit. itll be free just play fold/shove you wanna be raising and not calling especially when you have 9 high

So you got 1120 after posting the SB?

You got 2 more blinds left.

I think the first problem is that you find yourself in this situation. With 3BB left I would have shoved in the last orbit - if no other possibility i shove ATC UTG.

Now you have zero FE and need to gamble - and the right time to gamble is now, cause there is dead money in the pot from your SB and BB might fold, which would be great. If BB calls (which is likely with these odds) 98 does quite good in a multiway pot.

i misread the initial post. I thought you had 8 bb? yes shove with dead money in the pot

[Thegunshow]

it sucks but you gotta shove and hope he rolls over 66.

This is what I typically do as well (fold here) - I call if in BB obv. First-in vigor more important to me and I have another orbit to find a hand I like and be first in the pot (albeit with minimal fold equity). Wondering what the math is here can someone do in office now thx.
