Online tourney final table, blinds 5k-10k. 91k left after posting BB.
7 players remain and I'm in 5th place. (2 big stacks circa 360k).
Folds to button. Button had just lost a big hand and pushes for 33k. SB folds.
I have 72os. Do I call for 23k here?

It's a fold Bob, you're only getting 2/1 and you're putting in nearly 1/3 of your stack.

It's a fold Bob, you're only getting 2/1 and you're putting in nearly 1/3 of your stack. Ordinarily I totally agree. This is a very basic assessment though. It's not as simple as an odds call at that stage of a tourney IMO. Factor in the blinds. Also antes were huge as they were running since hour 2 and this was 6 hrs in. I'm losing equity all the time against four overstacks. In this case I have a chance to play a heads up hand without risking all my stack where I already have 1/3 of the pot invested. This also increases the shortstack by 15k(+antes) bringing him up to 50k uncontested. My own natural tendency is to fold this. I'm just interested to in opinions as to whether call/fold. Maybe this is a straight odds fold though I'm not sure. The relative stack sizes made it a difficult one and while I won't say yet what I did, I will say that my time bank got maxed!!! |

I agree Bob that at this stage of the tournament you have to take all these factors into consideration, but this is not the right spot to try and improve your position. You’d be far better off to fold this hand and start shoving any 2 cards after that. It’s one thing shoving with 7 2 but calling with it is very bad.

Ah you want to say I'm a sick man too! Actually I did call. He had 67s. I hit the 2 of his suit on the turn and he flushed the river! Think I can see what coming next, Musc! |
