    Default Doesnt look important but...

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, 22 Tournament, 60/120 Blinds (8 handed) - Full Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Do I just pass here? Doesnt look like much but it's a good percentage increase for me - does my equity justify it?

    UTG (t2470)
    UTG+1 (t890)
    MP1 (t1635)
    MP2 (t1450)
    CO (t4358)
    Button (t1185)
    Hero (SB) (t1222)
    BB (t290)

    Hero's M: 6.79

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 2, 5
    7 folds

    Total pot: t120

    I'd say no, but it seems to be a pretty tight table. The BB may call just because he's such a short stack, and they'd call with almost any ace or suited/connectors.

    Edit: Of course make sure the BB isn't sitting out, since FT doesn't say they are unless you check the hand history. It's surprising how many people let a short stack stay in when they aren't even playing.

    Ur looking at it the wrong way... the BB is never folding unless hes an idiot due to the odds I just meant is my say 34% equity worth the risk for like a 10% boost.

    I'm far too tired to work it out

    The pot size seems to be wrong - surely there is 180 (60 + 120) in the pot when its your turn to act?

    I assume that you are asking whether you should have shoved? (I would not like just to complete the SB with 52o against a short stacked BB).

    I think you need 39.6% equity. Assuming the BB calls 100% of the time then you have to put in 230 (60 + 170) to win 350 (180 +170). As 52o gives you 34% equity, then I think you should fold, unless you have a read that the BB is going to fold some of the time. (Wiz says the BB has to fold the bottom 25% of his hands for shoving to be break even)

    Meh, either or is fine in these spots. He's usually going to call ATC, which makes this a fold. The fact that people don't usually call wide enough with a short stack is negated by the fact he is so short that he is pretty much priced in with ATC.
