€2 NL HE MTT: Should I call?

miklcct · Saturday at 1:35 PM

This is a satellite tournament with 6 tickets. I made it to the final table at 9th/9, and afterwards 2 people busted, so the bubble was going to burst, but unfortunately I had less than 3 BB left (on the previous hand I got AKs but the connection dropped and didn't get back in time and couldn't play it).

Should I call or wait for a better hand?

Wait. I know this answer comes after the fact.

I can happily fold here, lose the next SB and have an orbit of antes waiting for other bust-outs. This has to be higher expectation than calling off here (despite what Nash says

)
Villain is shoving into 2 stacks that cover him on the bubble so probably not shoving that light. It's fingers crossed you may pick up a hand to shove in your last orbit.

I think, this is a fold. You are the shortest stack, but CO is likely on a very tight range, and K2o has very low equity against such a range. You are to short to have fold equity, but you can pick up a better hand or hope, someone else commit ICM-suicide within the next orbit.

Wait undoubtedly!

With antes of 150, you will be all in on your next big blind. To call with K2o is probably a bad idea and in the next few hands, if you are first to act it may be better to shove with any two cards.

K2 o is an easy fold here.
Sometimes even Nash Equilibrium is misleading, you are not printing with K2o.
As said above, CO shoves into BU and SB that cover him massively, this is normally not done with a weak range.
Waiting for a better spot will be the better option.

So it is better to shove with 72o on the next hand if the action folds to me, rather than calling with K2o right now?! I don't really understand. With the bubble bursting, the shortest stack at the table and less than 2 BB left, no one is going to take my action seriously because it is in everyone's interest to bust me out when their stack is not at risk (the tournament is over immediately if I am out).

For me, a clear fold. You’re definitely far behind with K2o and need a lot of luck. Wait for a better hand; even after folding in the next hand from the SB, you can still see 6 more hands before you would be forced all-in on the 7th hand. And maybe there will even be a spot where someone goes all-in before you and loses, and you get the ticket that way.

Probably yes because then you are against a range of any two cards. But more importantly you wont always pick up a hand this bad.
