I know that DoN hand threads are pretty much unheard of here so I would understand if there is a lack of interest or advice in this topic. That out of the way, I was wondering if any of you guys flat here and try to help eliminate the short stack.

I dont think i'm much of a poker player, but i'd atleast have something suited or connectors. 78s+ or something suited atleast with queen high, and if its not suited it'd have to be like j 10o.
not sure if thats what you want to hear but i'd definitely fold 25o.

if you were a big stack id say yes, but your short stacked yourself. Im letting it go and hope the bb takes him out

turbofold.

fold...BB should be calling ATC.

If BB loses the hand, he's down to about 550 in chips. The shorty will still only have ~1300 with the blinds coming at him if he doubles up.

Therefore, you're still in decent shape compared with those two...that makes this a snap fold.

def fold. calling range would be fairly tight here. you are in a pretty good spot to cash.

the answer is fold. . .but the reasoning is that you're first to act after the shove. . .if there's multiple (or at least 1) calls before its your turn to act then you can assess the chip situation should worst case scenario go down. . .if you'd be the only caller, then you'd shorten your already short stack and 'shang-hai yourself'

thanks all, i did fold. and appreciate the reasoning satch

[bcdrmr 3 of a kind > flush????]

legitimate question about ganging up on the desperate shorty. sucks when you get 2 or 3 people against him and he wins the hand with garbage though lol.

in this case I fold, don't put any more pressure on yourself when 1 or 2 other people have the bullseye on their heads
