    Default Tournament endgame question

    Ok I'm sitting in the BB with K3o, nice stack and someone raises 3xBB from EP or MP. Also decent stack. Should I call (just for the 3:1 pot odds), or fold this weakling? This situation just occured to me with 300/600+Ante level (I folded)

    you're getting 9:4 (2.25:1) on your money not 3:1
    villian raises to 1800, 300 sb(i assume fold), 600 bb, you need to call 1200 to win 2700.
    good fold
    f*cking it up for everyone else since 1969.

    Depends on how you are playing postflop.

    Are going to check down a king, then call a bet on river when he has made 2 pair/straight?

    Are you going to bet out K high flop and fold to any raise fearing you're outkicked?

    Just not worth getting involved with such margianl hands. If the 3-1 on your money leaves you or opponent all in, then call. If not fold.

    Yeah I'm just curious cause in the STTs I usually play, this situation rarely arises. It's almost always over before the antes kick in. But in this MTT endgame situations you sometimes get huge pot odds.

    I need to evidence from individuals to believe that being in EP is dictating their play- not vice versa. Fact is that he's OOP to in general, let alone the fact that this was a raised pot so there's a raiser with position on him.
