Hello,

Was it correct to call preflop here? I thought that if I fold, I would just have a bit more than 1.5bb after the blinds and I would have 0 fold equity against anyone and its not certain that I would get a good hand.

Also, by calling and trying to do a stopngo, I thought that I would have at least some slim chance for villain to fold.

It's interesting if villain always min raised in a spot like this. The SB could fire back with a loose 3bet shove and villain need to fold almost any hand.

Read less I would go for it but without much fold equity I don't think it makes to much difference if you shove now or on the flop, but that could be villain depended.

Cheers,

If we consider the raise as a shove, ICM has a calling range of 13,4% (55+ A8s+ A9o+ KJs+ KQo+).

In my oppinion this is one of the "doomed if you do, doomed if you dont" spots. If you fold your hand, you have very little fold equity going forward with a ~2 bb stack.

Given your choice to play the hand, i really like the "stop and go" tactic. I dont expect you to have any fold equity preflop, while u might have some inexperienced players fold the flop (either from missing or simply by not realising, that you're all in).

All in all I like the play!
