Weaker hand in the BB facing a short stacks all in, NLHE tournament

You’re calling 57 to win 80, or just about 1.4-1. A reasonable short stack will be shoving pairs, decent aces and broadway here. Against that range you’re about a 60-40 dog; against a random range you’re a 60-40 favorite. Let’s say you’re getting the right price or a little better.

Against a weak table with your stack, I’d stay away from close gambles at this point; against a strong table I think you have to take marginally +ev situations wherever you can get them. To me, that’s the tie breaker here - the strength of your opponents. The added value in knocking a player out and moving up the money list doesn’t hurt either.

I call.

What actually happened In the actual hand, the button iso-raised and you folded. The button showed ATo and the raiser showed 25o. AT won the pot.

Call- we are getting the right price (42%) against a 10bb range and if we are going for the win we need the chips. Plus if we lose we still have a not so desperate M of 7.

KT is a reasonable hand against a shortstacked CO raiser. The table is tough and we have to take our chances.

CO has an M of 4, and is the first to enter the pot. In his seat, I would shove with almost ATC. KT is more than enough to call here, especially since you’re last to act. That and the fact that this is a tough table means you need to gamble and accumulate chips. All that points to an easy call.

Opponent’s image: Reasonable
25os….yeah I guess that’s what any reasonable player would push their remaining stack with….LOL

Actually Samurai…yes. With a stack that small, you are looking for situations, not cards.

Fold. K-10 offsuit is among the worst hands to call an all in with…highly likely to be dominated, and almost definitely an underdog unless the guys making a move. Our opponent is “reasonable” which means hes unlikely to make a move with junk. Youd be better off with 8/9 suited then k-10….definitely not worth calling a big portion of your stack here….wait and put pressure on other people in more favorable situations.

You’re at about 60% to win this hand against one other random hand, which is essentially what you’re probably looking at here. His range is literally just about anything. They’re asking for a little over 70% to call. You’re still at about M15 after these blinds pass you. That affords you the opportunity to wait for your hand(s) until you really start looking at crunch time. No reason to gamble here… Fold…

I don’t like the call at all. You’re risking 37% of your stack. You’re in good shape with a very good payday possible. Calling and Being the first one in are night and day in my opinion.

I fold, But I’m KINDA TIGHT

Anonymous guy was me, sorry!!

I think we can acknowledge that the reasonable opponent is playing your tight image somewhat as well. Therefore I’d increase his range, making this a worthwhile call, especially so when given the caliber of opponent I’m up against.
