Dealt to Hero K♠ A♦

fold, fold, SB raises to $1,000, Hero ???

I would fold if he pushed, but he only min-raised, would the possible fold equity make it a shove?

If i win the hand i become the chip leader. On the other hand, i'm missing out on a pretty much guaranteed 1.8BI if i lose.

By default Wizard gave SB a 48% opening range, i then played with the calling range.

If he calls only 44%. Meaning he folds more than 8.5% of his range, it is a push. Otherwise, its a fold

I think you can call here...if you hit the A or K than you go broke...you are getting 3:1 odds on a call

If you dont hit you have an easy fold if he bets....your stack would still be much bigger then BUs stack and so your chances of getting ITM

the problem with calling is that if you dont hit you remain with less then 4bb.

I dont like pushing since you are giving him better than 2:1 odds after you resteal...
it is almost the same as calling his push which should be done with KK+ in this spot I think

folding pre would be better than pushing I think

never a good idea to waste chips in such a bubble situation just fold it preflop and don't call.Even if you hit your A/K you still can lose the hand that's what matters,also you don't have any fold equity because he has to call something like 1:3 and you are going to burst on the bubble 35-40%(or 5-10% if you call,hit A/K and lose) of the time meaning a push,nevertheless a call, will be -EV in my view.I would be glad to see other points of view.

Hi all,

He's got you well covered and he's being given great odds. I would not assume that he folds here ever. So just fold. Calling is the worst of the 3 options (here I think fold > push > call). NOpre3s3n7 has it pretty much down pat.
