  1. Poker league I'm in, we're three-handed, top 2 guaranteed seat into ME (5K tourney). Stacks are all pretty even.

    Blinds 5K/10K

    Shuttahbug (button, 75K) 53os folds

    Chris (SB, 65K behind) q10os shoves

    David (BB, 60K behind) A3os calls

    Chris turns a 10 to win and me and him earn our seats. My question, are you calling with A3. Under normal circumstances in a tourney I'm leaning towards a call because I feel like Im ahead of Chris's range, although he has been pretty snug (I was the most active player at FT). It was very surprising because David seemed content to fold into the money first, and wanted to fold to the top 2, I had not faced a raise from him out of the small blind in four orbits, and he straight out folded it three times.

    Just wondering what you guys would do here. Like I said, normal circumstances I think it's a call, but with the ME seat on the line, and all three of us had not won one yet, I think I might have folded the A3 and looked for a better spot, especially against a tight player. If it had been me shoving from the button, I call if I'm David, because I had been so active, but with Chris having been playing tight, I don't think this is a good spot for David.

    Thoughts?
  2. reverse blind structure, wonder how this works
