This hand is from an EPT satelite satelite on Stars. Nine players are left, seven get $450 seats, 8th place pays around $250.
Blinds are 600/1200/100. I'm in the big blind with 10k chips, I'm the short stack, but there are three other stacks near me, with 11k, 13k, and 14k respectively. In addition a couple of the big stacks are donks. It is folded to the button with 11k who pushes. His pushing range is huge, at least 50% maybe even more. I have ATo. Do you call or fold? If I win I don't have to play another hand, if I lose I'm out. If I wasn't the short stack this would be a clear fold, but here I'm not sure. There is a chance that I may get in without playing another hand despite being the short stack due to the donks at the table, would you call here, or wait and see what happens? |

If I'm the big stack on the table, it's an easy call. As the first to enter the pot, it's an easy push. But here, it's an easy fold. You need "first-in vigorish".

Yeah, I agree, there's nothing to be gained by finishing 1st over 7th, and there's too many hands that win, and not enouggh advantage over those that don't. Fold this hand.

But as a big leader, I'd call with impunity and get this thing over with. |

But if you're the big stack and can fold into a seat, you do it. |
