Poker Stars $13.89+$1.11 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t100/t200 Blinds - 5 players - View hand 1718278

SB: t6410 32.05 BBs
Hero (BB): t1585 7.92 BBs
UTG: t3070 15.35 BBs
CO: t1071 5.36 BBs
BTN: t1364 6.82 BBs

Pre Flop: (t300) Hero is BB with 7 :heart: K :club:
2 folds, BTN raises to t1364 all in, 1 fold, Hero calls t1164

Flop: (t2828) 5 :heart: 5 :spade: 7 :spade: (2 players - 1 is all in)

Turn: (t2828) 4 :heart: (2 players - 1 is all in)

River: (t2828) 6 :club: (2 players - 1 is all in)

Final Pot: t2828
Hero shows 7 :heart: K :club: (two pair, Sevens and Fives)
BTN shows A :diamond: 2 (a pair of Fives)
Hero wins t2828

Can we call if the read on opponent is that he steals 63% on BTN w/ 89 hands sample filtered for 5-6 handed? Or is the sample too small?

From my point of view this is extremely bad call.You have a nice stack to ruin it with a weak hand like this

Hey!

It's not necessarily the sample size that we should be bothered about. I also steal very wide from the BU from this stack, but not when there is a reg who knows his way in the BB. So his range pretty much breaks down to how he perceives the blinds - but regardless of all that, K7o should never be a call unless we have a solid read. The bottom of your nash range Kxo wise is KQo. And even that implies a 30% shove. If I - for some reason - thought that he was wider than that I'd be willing to risk KJo, but nothing wider than that without some really solid read. We still have fold equity, and we can loose so so much with a bad call.
