Default $55+5 Bubble call/fold.

SB knows what he's doing and is abusing hard.

Thoughts?


PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t2688)
Button (t2764)
SB (t5440)
Hero (t2608)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

This is a fold unless you know he would push any 2 even then its only 0.8EV+
folding is good

Yes, it's +0.8% if he's on any two, it's also +0.1% if he's on 60%, I would call here given the OP's description of the player. Not re-push cos that's pointless, just call and obv don't fold the flop, you have no FE preflop though, and might eke some out postflop.

I respect what your saying but i hate calling here why you gonna get involved with a stack that can bust you with a marginal hand, i personally think there will be higher EV+ opportunities later on and i just think patience is key here.

The other two players are also knowing what they are doing, and I'll be greatly disfavoured as a lowstack, and they will probably be able to make a easy and correct call estimating my range. Theres not exactly lots of +EV situations left here to exploit at this point, and missing one is terrible.

This is a very tough call and ultimately depends on if the low stacks will fold to your target-pushing.

with "pushing-position" to the other two shorter stacks I prefer folding here... they will have a tough time calling your pushes. Also SB will fold a lot if you are under the gun because you still can hurt him.
If you really expect SB to push the next 20 hands with any 2: call. May be you will come back from your 608 chips ;-).

Read my second post, they will not have a hard time making correct calls.
