    Do i call here and hope for a lower PP or a race situation or fold and shove the next hand?

    I break my mouse hitting the call button here. The only hands you are fearing are JJ+ (2% of hands). Being the big stack on the bubble, I could say with 100% certainty that opp is shoving wider than that. In opp's shoes I would shove close to ATC. Even if opp is shoving tight I would still call.

    The only time this becomes a difficult situation would be if you were a very close second stack and the big stack shoved.

    Insta-call, as taipan says you're a dog against only 4 hands, with your stack it doesn't even matter what range opp's shoving with.
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.

    Never ever even think about folding here ever. If the stack sizes were very different it could be considered but not when you are the shorty. You will have almost no FE next hand anyway.

    Don't be results oriented. (Wise words Taipan once posted in a similar thread I made a long time ago)
    The actual results don't matter, as long as you play the situation well

    you have a good hand, M<3, you have to call

    You need to call a much wider range here, anything in the neighbourhood of top 30-40%
