I find it hard to call this, I'm leaning more towards the easy fold/why even think about calling vrs the easy call. But then again I think calling off over a 1/3 of my chips with QJ ( a marginal hand at best) is totally the wrong move.
Yes pot odds is important, to an extent. Raise, reraise is not a time to call off chips with QJ. Maybe pushing them in would have been the better play, As its always better to push your chips then call them off. But since you didn't have the option of doing so ahead of time then its a fold.

Depends alot on table and other circumstances, If you had less chips(like 10 or 11k) this would be a fold imo.As it is im not sure if its a call or fold. One thing im sure of is that thoose who say either easy call or easy fold are both wrong.

I am not the mathematical ICM expert that some others might be, but I look at it a little differently.
The button is shoving any 2. Easy call, but when the SB shoves, I have to put him on some type of made hand or at worst case, a big ace. It's about 20% of my stack to call here, so to me, I can pick a better spot. I tend to be more agressive shoving than calling though. Might be a leak in my game. But in the long run, it works out ok.

god people, stop talking about how much of his stack he's calling off. hes getting a rediculous price and he still can shove from LP and have fold equity if he loses.

moman, you dont have to put the SB on a made hand because his M is also really really low, he should be shoving any two that he might think is live since the buttton is shoving any two and he knows he ahead of buttons range. Hero is ahead of both the SB and buttons ranges but the HH showing the outcome is making everyone results oriented. I went over the #s on pokerstove, as posted earlier, and this is a fairly easy call. Not a snap call since any normal person cant do that math in a split second but if you take about 10 seconds and really put them both on a range of hands and realize the odds your getting compared to how your hand stands against their ranges it is a pretty easy call.
