Hi,

WInteresting spot, and I wasn't too happy calling a shove from a passive player. But thought my high cards draw was good often enough to justify the call with better than 3.5:1 odds, and the possibility of drawing near-dead vs a set was compensated by the possibility that AK-high was the best hand.

Do you guys think this is a call?

Thanks!

I think it's difficult to call with just Ahigh vs a passive player, it seems like he is trapping, i don't put him on sets only TT but he most likely shove this preflop since he was commited by calling half of his stack. So for that reason i put him on a stronger hand, so probably fold.

Problem is here that you need to call 17k to win a pot 80k. That means you need 21% equity to win this hand and then it’s tough to fold. Off course his line is suspicious with this short stack, but I don’t think a call would be too bad with already so many chips invested.
