Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, 11 Tournament, 300/600 Blinds (4 handed) - Party-Poker Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

UTG (t16300)
Button (t1100)
Hero (SB) (t1760)
BB (t840)

Hero's M: 1.96

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6, A
1 fold, Button raises to t1100 (All-In), 1 fold, BB calls t240 (All-In)

Looks like another fold. BU will push at least 30% here, maybe more. BB can't really fold, so I should just get out of the way?

I wanted to call, because I have BU more than covered, and if BB should then fold, and he might sometimes, and I lose, I still have BB covered for his remaining chips and he is in next hand.

Even if he calls, I can lose to both and still be in the money. Is this a spot where I should get my money in with my Ax?

i call.

you are ahead of BU, you have both of them covered and BB will often come along for the ride (if hes one of those 'omg pot odds' types).

if you think BB will likely fold and/or BU is tighter than he should be here. then i prefer folding.

it depends a lot on what the BB will do imo.

its important that you have both covered, and even if you lose this hand and BB folds. you still have him covered next hand.

My thoughts too, really, so I was pissed off at myself after the event.

It looks like a no lose play for me.

It depends a lot on how stupid BU and BB are. Usually this should be a pretty straight forward fold, because a) BU should be very tight and b) BB should fold pretty much anything once we get in. Now, if for some reason BU gets in extremely light and BB will call loose anyway, I guess you could make a point for calling. But this should very rarely be the case, especially since future game plays for you (BB wins BU will be auto allin, BU wins BB will be auto allin). So after all unless BU is brain dead pretty much snap fold imo.
