    3. Because your stack is the effective stack against 61memo61; and
    4. People don't fold anymore (particularly in 90s) once they put a chip in the pot, making all of the above issues relevant.

    I think if effective stacks were ~20bbs your play works just fine. Here I would probably call behind and hope for the best. You have direct odds to setmine and, while you might not have enough implied (I'm not sure; my math skills stink and I'm not sure what amount people are working with these days), it is less than 10% of your stack, you are relatively deep AND 61memo61 has you covered.
