Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, 1+0.25 Tournament, 250/500 Blinds (4 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

saw flop

BB (t2170)
UTG (t4630)
Hero (Button) (t3610)
SB (t3090)

Hero's M: 4.81

Preflop: Hero is Button with A, K
UTG bets t4630 (All-In), Hero calls t3610 (All-In), 2 folds

Total pot: t7970

Can I fold this with BB bein so short? I'm pretty short myself tho, is this the correct call or should I wait for a first in spot?

you only have 3BB more than the shortie..i think this should be an easy call..especially because u can abuse the bubble if u win


i think it's quite an easy call, your M is like 4 and AKs is nuts here. BB is not THAT short, he can still double up and put sou in a pretty uncomfortable position. It's true that you have no FE here, but with AKs you're most likely ahead of his pushing range. Well you're dominating all Ax and coinflipping vs pps, being dominated by AA and drawing to 3 outs vs KK. I'd call it.


Run it in the wiz.

I think your range should be wider here - like AJ+, 77+ against average not ultra nitty villains.

AJ+? that's a bit too loose i think... i'd push that range for sure and even looser, but i don't think i'd call with that. 99/TT+, AQ+ for me.

i like this range here. AJ+ 77+ - range for UTG can be very wild in this limit like A6+ 44+
and 98+

Hello,

I think I am picking here AQs+, 88+. So I am calling here also.

Best regards,

According to Nash you cannot call this hand even if he pushes 50%. Normally I do not think he will push even looser on a 1$ SnG. If he does so, you have to call.
One could still argue that the future game might enable you to win back the chips you lose in this hand. However, he will only have 2BB left and will be in the BB so there are no spots where you can just pick up the 750 chips with a lot of FE.
That's why I would fold here without having a special read on him.

Do I get it correctly that BU can call 1.8%, JJ+?


Yes.
The bubbles creates pretty strange ranges from time to time.

CO is the pushing player. In this situation, you push wider, and call very very tight.
