Default Final Table Heads Up

$80 buy-in w/ rebuys. Field of 40, paying 5 places, now heads up. I have about 100K and other player about 200K. Blinds 10K-20K. I'm on the button w/SB holding A-6s and call the BB. BB then moves all in pre-flop. I called. Agree or disagree?

Thanks for the feedback. She turned over A-9os and hit a 9 on the flop - and 2nd place it was for me. I felt it was a must call. As it turns out I'm confident she would have called my shove had I shoved 1st, but wondered if I should have just shoved initally, rather than calling the BB and then calling her shove pre-flop.

Ya you can shove first... but when it's a long heads up battle quite frankly I'm occassionally going to just call with A-X and slow play my ace occassionally. Definately calling the shove too, since that's what we want anyway with these stacks and blinds.

If the blinds were a little lower and closer stacks this is possibly a fold which i have seen good players do heads up the situation though is an easy shove call is a leak.

This is not so true. Look at SAGE system. 23o is still not good enough to shove.
