    I didnt edit out the results because thats part of my question here. Im in the BB with A6s, I check, flop comes with an Ace and two of my suit, the players in the pot were tight, and I felt a 1/2 pot bet could take it down. When I was raised all in, I was almost positive I had the worse hand at the time as I really couldnt see any hand I was currently beating play it that way, maybe 33 or QQ. Putting my opponent on any hand that current beats me I figured I had the odds to make the call. After the tourney I ran it through pokerstove to make sure:

    Board: As 3h Qh

    equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
    Hand 1: 51.5567 % 45.94% 05.61% { Ah6h }
    Hand 2: 48.4433 % 42.83% 05.61% { QQ+, 33, A7s+, A3s, A7o+, A3o }

    That also doesnt figure in a bluff or semi-bluff. So really, what my question is, should I be willing to call off my stack in this position, or should I wait for a less marginal spot to get my money in?[/i]

    If you fold, you still have 17BB and the blinds wont be going up for 10 minutes. I think you can find a better edge than a coinflip later on

    Insta call. Screw finding edges later on. If he called and then bet like this on the turn - its an insta fold.

    lead more on the flop - with 4 in I think PS is good. As played I call too.
