Raiser is unknown.. would you call here? My guess is that it's bad in wizard, was thinking about metagame / stack sizes leading up to bubble...

The stack sizes do favour loose calls... you won't get a lot of good spots too shove.
I don't think the wizard gives an accurate representation of the situation here, the future $EV is very different if BTN wins 1.5 BB here.
Gameflow is important aswell... is there a lot of limping, are you getting walks on your BB, do the bigstacks call loose, ...
I'm interested to hear what others think about this hand, I think it's close.


I guess we shouldn't have some stats on this guy already by this stage. If he was quite loose before I would call. You need some nit reads to fold I think.

Against a reg, I think it becomes a pretty clear call, I would be pushing almost ATC in his position against guys that I think I can still get fold equity from.

Calling against regulars... Fold against fishes..

table dynamics also do affect my decision here.. if I do believe to have big FE on the two opponents on my left hand I would prefer folding here..


call regs, fold vs most fish. loose fish its fine to get it in.

would call from the bb though.
