I call pf instead of raise because i figure we'll check it to the river and bust the t430 stack, but no. The ideot feels investing 30chips in a 1.2k pot is not worth it.

Thats easy... You have shown interest in the hand... there is no side pot right now, so he needs to beat two players. Maybe he felt his hand was weak enough in this spot. NOt only does he have to ht his weak ass hand hard, but now hes got to build another pot to compensate for the dry side pot. Also, why go bust on a hand that a small stack may not?

While He probably had odds to call by the numbers, I do not fault his move. I would probably call with anything right there, but there is a logic to folding....

Sorry marm...the fact that Gder just called (instead of raising) would give me all the inclination I need...you have to guess that SB is going all...so that shouldn't suprise you...the fact that the only other person at the table didn't raise him all in should be a key indicator that he wants this to be a family pot...Given the blind sizes, it's not a full raise, so the other person can't reraise (discounting the possiblity of a trap). I can't think of a single hand I wouldn't play with the pot odds being offered and the fact that the other decent stack at the table has shown you that he thinks the 2 of you have a better chance of busting the short stack then 1 does...

You mean like this?? Notice in my post I said I would call....

Outcome: Hero wins t280. MP1 wins t85.

Funny part is, after the hand, I said "serves you right for raising Crap like that " The guy came back and said "A4s is crap??? I don't think so!"

It doesn't matter what he has, he is only investing 30 chips! He can fold to any bet from Gder on the flop unless he hits 2 pair, the side pot would only be 60 anyway.

That is terrible play in my book.

42:1 odds.

'Nuff said.

Marm, I knew you had said you would call...as (imho) any reasonable poker player would...I was commenting on your reasoning for why he may have folded and trying to show how (if I had been him) I would have looked at it...

I just thought of something, we're forgetting the very obvious fact that he may have gotten up to get a drink of water (I go through water like crazy when I hit a FT) or had to use the restroom and didn't get back in time to call...
