Message: [QUOTE="HoldemChamp, post: 1284662, member: 2813"] You said less than 20%. That is to vague for me to give a good answer. I know it is likely against what the math says. I am going to assume we are talking a situation where no ante are involved instead of one where there are in this following example. I will also assume the call would be for 10% of your chips. The player goes all in UTG for 3 times the BB that are say 100/200 or 600 chips everyone folds to you on the button and you look down at 27 off. With the SB and BB still to act I don't see a reason to hand over 600 with 2 people left to act. If I am in the BB then it is only costing me 400 more to win 1300 giving me odds of 3.25 to 1 win. I suppose there would be people that would argue that a chance to knock out a short stack is more important than losing 15% of your stack. And that the short stack still had to go all in on the very next hand since he would only have 1300 chips left. But, one would need to know how he got down to 3 times the BB. If he just suffered a bad maybe I would be inclined to make the call assuming that he is going all in with a desperation attempt to win and though I am most likely behind there is that chance to take out a short stack to keep in mind. If they have not acted for 3 straight rounds giving away money to the blinds, then we are talking a complete different situation. One where I would have almost no problem conceding that he had a hand and not do something silly like call with junk. If someone balks and says you should have called. Simply say, "You go ahead and call with 72 offsuit vs a person who has not been in a hand for 3 rounds. I wish you luck." Mind you if everyone else had small stacks compared to yours. Say everyone had only 10x the BB or less it would likely be a much different scenerio then if you were chip leader and several people had stacks not much smaller than yours. Or you were sitting with a medium chip stack. Lots of different things to think about before making a decision. [/QUOTE]
