call ?
mrmacacan:
Playing a home game last night.
4 left, blinds 800/1600
button pushes for 26K, chip leader with about 48K and is in BB thinks for a while then calls.
The guy that pushed flips over KQ, caller flips over 44.
K on the flop, KQ takes the hand and doubles up and is now chip leader.
I know its hard to make a decision for you all, we know the players you don"t.
The pusher is a rock but is known to over play small pairs late on.
After the hand BB said he had to call, I said that I would have folded, I would not put over half my chips in
at that stage and be at best in a race, everybody disagreed and thought the call was good.
I just think he will have a lot better slots later on.
Thoughts please.

Against a 16x open shove, calling with 44 is awful.
Worst case - 18%
Best case - 50%

I don"t like calls with low pairs in this position. As you say, it"s almost always a race, so you"re gambling. Given that us poker players are always trying to convine non-poker players that this game is different to the other gambling casino games, why gamble in that spot?
Perhaps if he had 15 BB or less is might be worth a gamble, but with 30BB this is a poor decision.
