tough decision ?

    Default tough decision ?

    I ran it through SNG Wiz and it says push but my feelings say let it go. If i push i have no fold equity, BB should call with ATC.
    Why to risk it, when BB needs to make a 1st move (push) to be ITM.
    Am i wrong and its easy push ?

    Hand 0: 47.908% 45.83% 02.08% 11535749664 523144272.00 { T7o }
    Hand 1: 52.092% 50.01% 02.08% 12588830592 523144272.00 { random }

    Close one, I probably fold it and hope that SB shoves and BB calls and gets knocked out. You do need to make a move soon though and it sucks that the big stack is in the BB when you're in the SB.

    I fold this - the bb has to have something to call, but the sb doesn't need much. Unless you've been uber tight the last couple orbits and everyone else's been just folding a ton, I fold.
    PS - Ever notice how often you have a tough call like this and if you think about it and lay it down your next hand will be TT+ or AQ+? I'm sure it's just a mental thing, but man, seems like that happens to me alot.

    haha...This is like the old baseball saw, "How many times do you see it -- a guy makes a great defensive play to end the inning and then leads off the next?"

    I'm pretty sure you'll see the guy making the great defensive play lead off 1 in 9 times.
