Call or Fold?
AMRN:
Let"s assume for a minute that there are say 1000 runners.... that means there are 1M chips in play, and your starting stack is 0.1% of total chips in play. You need 100% of chips to win the tourney, and some reasonable percentage just to cash......
Why would you put your tourney on the line in a coin flip situation when the outcome will be almost irrelevent in terms of the overall tourney..... the winner of the hand will double up, but will only have 0.2% of the chips in play - and will still be 99.8% short of the chips required to win.......
My point therefore is that you would be putting your life on the line on a coin flip in the hope of putting yourself into a position that is hardly different to the position you will be in you fold. Why bother?
FOLD
Swinebag:
Its a fold.
Not because its a major tourney with a big buy in, but because we have a long clock. If the donk is raising all in with AK then there will be better opportunities to get his chips than this 50/50 shot.
KK is a call though(obv), but thats a different thread isn"t it?
noble1:
hands up if anyone here has seen any top pro call a all in pre-flop with QQ whether they"ve seen the opponents cards or not , in the 1st level......
enough said - donkey poker - leave em to it...............................................

I think i know why? (either you feel you have a big enough edge in the hand or you feel that you will have to play a coin flip at some stage of the tourney so why not now)
But what is your reasoning here?
