    Default turbo hand

    hands like these get me in trouble or make me look really smart
    i am still unsuer about pot odds but i think i was getting good ods considering i was partially in the hand

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG+1 (t3565)
    MP1 (t140)
    MP2 (t5570)
    CO (t1180)
    Button (t365)
    Hero (t1790)
    BB (t800)
    UTG (t1590)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with K, 6.
    2 folds, MP1 calls t140 (All-In), 2 folds, Button raises to t365, hero?

    I'm folding here. You have a weak hand and the two short stacks are all in. Assuming the BB folds as well, there are 3 things that can happen...
    MP1 wins and Button is practically dead, Button can win, still has few chips and MP1 is out, or they can split and they are both still short stacked. That's my thinking...
    I study at KRE8R's School of Bankroll Management.

    If you IM me looking for money or a trade, you will be blocked.

    I fold here, I don't want to give the short stacks extra chips and BB being a shortstack may push in behind you.

    EDIT: nvm

    It's push to get the BB out or fold. I wouldn't mind the push too much because there's not a lot, but enough to pick up if you win. But I'm folding because you have no equity edge. You need to hit a King and that King will usually be good with these stacks. What you don't want is the Button to get an extra 365 with a win. If he wins this hand without you, he's inching back in the game. If he wins without you here, he's still an invalid and you have a few more hands to be patient and play your open-push fold-equity with marginal edges.

    I got the stacks and positions mixed up. I'd would push to knock out the BB because he doesn't have any chips and you can't go broke.

    I'd fold because you're only getting 2:1, but the real value is in knocking out 2 players. The risk is the BB calling and being an anemic stack whil evening out another a little more.

    I wouldn't say there's a definite right or wrong answer here between pushing and folding. You can't just call.
