Sorry i dont have history.
This hand was about 25 minutes into a mtt. Blinds were 25/50 and i had about 1400 chips. I get 45 on the BB 5 people limp before me and i check. Flop is 23J rainbow.
I check and 3 people move all in who have me covered, i figured i was getting the odds to draw to my straight so i called, it didnt hit and i got busted out. The all inners had 22 33 and JJ respectivaly. So would anyone else be calling for their stack in this position ?

You're gunna want to get a big stack early, but with three all ins your not wagering 1400 in chips for 4200 chips you're wagering the buy in for 4200 chips. So if a 1:3 odds to win is worth the buy in go for it. I wouldnt have called.

I've made that call in the past and I've also laid it down. As 11 said it's not about the chips it's about the buy-in.

Later in a tourney I'd throw it away if I had a decent stack, but early on I'd make the call a reasonable % of the time.

3 people all in, you have the odds to call and I probably would early.

Quadrupling up is definately worth the risk and you'll hit it often enough, I would do the same thing most of the time. Think of how much more you can do with a 6000 chip stack than a 1400 stack. Your odds of making the final table jump alot.

Easier to make this call early on, harder to make the later it gets.
