Seat 1: Some Donk (1195 in chips)
Seat 2: Hero (723 in chips)
Seat 5: SB (2902 in chips)
Seat 6: BB (4180 in chips)
SB : posts small blind 100
BB : posts big blind 200

Some Donk: folds
Hero: raises 523 to 723 and is all-in
SB: folds
BB: ????

BB has only 523 chips left to call to win a 1023 pot, giving him 2 to 1.
Should he call with any two cards here?

A few hands before that he called my all in when I had QQ with KQ and he hit the straight. Then the blinds knocked me down more.

Edit, this is a 6 man STT

I'm no STT expert, but if he's playing optimally, wouldn't BB be mostly interested in keeping the bubble alive so he can continue to steal chips?

I don't know about any two, but it would open my range up significantly. I would not want to double you up just to try and take you out. If am chip leader I don't want to just give away my chips.

If you're pushing with top 1/3 BB should be calling with ATC.

Looks real close. I think he can fold his bottom garbage but call anything w/ some value.

He called with 56o. I was shocked when he hit his straight and beat by pp. He kept going on how he had the odds to call. I disagreed with him out of frustration but it is really close.

Yes I think a fold or a call is ok with 56o. I might lean toward folding, if it were sooted all your chips belong to us. :nod: I can't say for sure, though, if I would fold or call in that situation. It would just depend on the mood I am in at the moment.

This is close based on the QQ hand you shared. If I sense that you are pushing tight, I'm not calling with 56o even if you are shortstacked. But, like Sfu said, if your range is wide, I'm calling you.

well the ss probably wont go allin with nothing...so the bb should at least have a decent hand...i dont think he should stay in with 8 2 or 7 3 or something like that...but it all depends on what he thinks is the right decision
