    Say you've just lost a flip and get left w/ 5 BB's. Next hand your dealt 67s in MP.

    UTG opens x 4, get's 1 caller, now what's the best play?

    Put your chips in as obvious dog and hope to build your stack by x amount, or fold hoping you can open shove one of the next following hands?
    Thanks in advance.

    Considering you just lost a flip I'm going to assume this is fairly deep in an MTT where you need to flip so...

    IE. If you have 5 BB's and it's 500/1000 blinds w/ 100 ante its costing you 2400 an orbit and you have 5000 chips so your M is 2. So, against competent opponents you probably have no fold equity. Because the BB will have 4000 to call in order to win 11400. He only needs to have (4000/11400) 35% equity in the big blind.

    Now if you fold this your gonna have 4900 which makes no difference but you're gonna have to go all in before it reaches you and that's in 3 or 4 more hands. So chances are you won't get a premium hand Now you said a guy called the intial raise. In a perfect world you only want to be heads up when you go all in. Now, say you have 22 -66 here. I would say fold b/c chances are someone has either an over pair or you're up against at least 4 overs. But with your chip stack I would probably go all in here IF you're opponents that raised and called are deep enough to fold a hand comfortably. Because at showdown you only want to be up against one hand.

    depends on what percentage ante (if any) represents of that 5bb, if its less than 10-20% wait for a better hand... idk but im thinking the ante makes this decision for you... no ante wait for better (9 handed i assume)
