    i'm no expert, but imo yes you should call with any two. If you lose, your stack is at 26 BB, which you won't play any differently than a 28 BB stack. Also, the 2 short stacks will still be extremely short even if they win. Plus their ranges are super wide, if they happen to have a dominating hand, oh well. i'm calling any 2 all day in this spot. Hope this helps.

    I'm torn here. With 45, you are way behind. You could be dominated, at best you have 2 live cards, and against 2 hands. But, they do have wide ranges, but odds are, 3-4 overs, and that is hoping you don't run into an overpair (underpair is highly unlikely).

    Now, the thing is, you can afford to lose the chips, and the payoff is nice if you hit. For that, I think it's ok to call (since, losing doesn't hurt you, but winning helps). But, I don't think folding is wrong here by any means.

    easy call, you are getting too good of odds, you get to see all 5 cards, and your stack wont even take a hit.
