Call or Fold ?

Yeah, completely agree with you all, it"s a definite fold.
As you all seem so wise, could someone please explain to me why I decided to call, he showed K6os, and spiked a king.
Yes, it was getting late, and yes, it had been a long day, but why would I do that ?
:D

Everyone knows you are beating his range (hence call it off in a tourney) but it"s a satty and you are not trying to win etc...
Oh and 50p please ;D
Chipaccrual:
Just curious, but ignoring potential ranges, let"s say the SB shoves and shows his cards.
What"s the best hand he could show that would make you call in this situation ?
Are you calling A4os here as you have the hand dominated, but wouldn"t want to go up against any two live cards ?
Also, what"s the minimum hand in the BB that you would be calling with (assuming you don"t know SB"s hand) ?
Swinebag:
Good question
I would call all dominating hands so yes would call A6 but not A7-AQ

All you can really do is assign a bunch of likelihoods of you winning a seat given the different outcomes.
Probably something like: currently you"re 80% for a seat, if you win that goes to 95%, if you lose it drops to 35% (entirely arbitary). That works out at needing to be a 3/1 favourite pre to break even and begin to justify it.
So if he jams ATC JJ+, if he shows you K6o then KK+. In any normal scenario AA is the only sure-fire call.
A bunch of made up figures, but my gut feeling is you"d need over 3:1 at least - depends how you calculate your chances.
