Call or fold $30 cubed Stars

(1/6) > >>

Erimus:
Thoughts on the following hand please, call or fold.

I dont have any stats on villain, my holdemmanager not working but his only move has been all in which given his chip stack is fair enough, he has pushed last couple of hands and has met no resistance.
As seen i min raise the button, he shoves, call and win gives me a chance of at least final tabling, call and lose back in the pack.

Call or Fold.

lucasj37:
I call as he is shoving worse often enough and we can afford to take a race.

duke3016:
Drop the fossil tag and call his sorry ar$e   ;D

(then pray that the gnomes deep in the bowels of PokerStars look kindly on your race)

TheSnapper:
For 20 bigs I fold, versus a wide range of any A, any pair, and any two broadway we are taking slightly the worst of it. It"s very close though especially for only 33% of your stack.

It boils down to whether you want to take the higher variance route, if you figure to have an edge over the field thats not good and conversely, should you be of lesser ability than the field, grasp the variance since a flip is not giving away any edge.

Erimus:
In this spot I would normally fold and find a less high variance spot, in this instance I called mainly because of his constant shoves, wasn"t a tilt call, I just felt it was right and could afford to take the hit plus if I win the hand it gives me more chance of winning it, something which I need to get in my game as I am becoming king of the min cashes at the moment.

Unfortunately he showed up with A 10, I binked the K on the flop hurrah, he binked the A on the turn, boo.

I then went card and spot dead and eventually bubbled the final table for $174.

Considering this was a $30 cubed the standard was pretty dreadful, I didn"t even need the add on and rebuy because had double the average due to some gifts from a couple of generous Russians.

I do normally take any add ons or rebuys in these types of games but thought I was ok to go deep with the stack I had accumulated.

Ger, have to keep that Fossil image in tact, still get people open folding QQ to my reraises lol, ty for the input.
