only 4 hands are owning you. easy call.

Ya, I think so. You have a chance to elimate a player and you have good cards. Even if you lose, your stack is healthy enough to take the hit but if you win you're chip leader with an even bigger hammer.

The math I believe gives you 1.8 to 1 which gives you calling odds against:
> a higher pair (Aces, Kings & Queens) 5 to 1 dog
> a lower pair 1.2 to 1 dog
> vs A-K 1.6 to dog
> vs 2 lower cards 1.6 to 1 favourite
> vs Kx 1.6 to 1 favourite

So for every thing except the top 3 pair you're getting proper odds to call.

It all depends on history. I lean towards folding this, or pushing. I don't like calling. They few number of hands that have you dominated are the few hands that make this PF play.

He made a huge all-in push, it really depends on what hes done in the past.

Edit: Wrote first paragraph before I saw he was allin.

The answer is, it depends. It really depends on the buttons range. He isn't in desperation mode yet, so his range could easily be AA-JJ,AK,AQs. Against a range like this you're about 2.5:1(guesstimating, someone check please) so it's a fold. On the otherhand, he could have a super loose pushing range, say 66+,AJ+KJs,KQs,KQo, in which case its about even money (probly more like 55:45 but just guessing again) where you ahve to call.

You make no sense... the guy raised all in; folding and calling are the only 2 options.

If I am the button acting, I would be pushing like he is with AA, KK, QQ and AK. He still has 16BB, no need to panic just yet. But I guess it depends if you were raising a lot, since you were a big stack, and he wants to get you out when he is holding JJ, TT, AQ (doubt it), AJ or something.

If you were being agressive, I would call. If you had a tight-image, I think I am folding this here.

I am guessing he hit is king with AK?

No Call here.

Saw that after I first posted it... notice our time stamps... Yeah... Its fold or call....
