Call all in with 10-10 on the bubble?

    Default Call all in with 10-10 on the bubble?

    10 person $3 SNG.5 Players left;as always top 3 get paid.Blinds 200/400.Big Stack is 6000,I have around 2500.Other 3 stacks are around 2000.I get dealt 10-10 in the BB.Folds around to SB who pushes all in.I have him covered but if I lose it's pretty much over.

    Call this all in?What are the odds he has a higher PP?If he's pushing overs I'm the slight favorite but should I really be risking my spot ITM on a virtual coinflip at best?The 4 players are worse then me so I can outplay them easily;but the rising blinds won't allow me this chance.Who here clicks call and lets it ride?

    Without even a second thought or a look back. He's pushing all in for approx. 2000 to steal your 400 BB? There's a 97% chance your hand is better than his, and at least a 25% chance you have him dominated. I see almost no chance he has JJ-AA, which is all you're really worried about.

    Besides, as you mention, if you fold away 1/5th of your stack here you're not going to have the chance to outplay anybody. If you can't call a transparent bluff with a high pair, you should just click on "post blind & fold" and walk away from the computer.

    call. if you knew for sure it was a coin flip it would be an interesting question, but here there is just too much of a chance you're way ahead.

    Obvious call.

    Same thing happened to John D'Agostino in the USPC. I'm sure most of the people here saw it but it was down to the final table and it gets folded to Hoyt Corkins in the SB who goes AI. D'Agostin0 looks down at TT and calls. Corkins has 67o. Corkins goes on to flop trip sevens and then he turns quads. Brutal.

    But I'm never folding here ever.

    5 handed I push this from any position against any raise (maybe not if theres a 3 way all in) There is no way this is a coinflip at best. SB could be pushing with Ax, Kx, Qx, Jx, a lower pocket pair, or just junk.

    you only have 6bb yourself, you cant wait for a dominating situation (this is as good as it gets)

    If you are even CONSIDERING a fold, you and I need to have a serious talk about your ENORMOUS leak.

    The bubble is no time to get tight.

    Easy push.

    You may want to reconsider your bubble play if this is a tough decision.
    pulling a courtiebee pŏŏl-ĭng ā kôrt-ē-bē (verb phrase):
    1. overvaluing mid pocket pairs
    2. knowing you should fold, but donkishly calling or raising anyway

    A sure fire call with no hesitation. SB is hoping that you don't have a hand and is on the steal.

    Thanks for the feedback guys.I'll make sure I call without regrets in the future.If he has JJ,QQ,KK,or hits his overs then no regrets either.
