This was a turbo tournament. Do you call here or not?

I figured both my cards were live, and if I called I had the chance to knock out two players in one go... therefore reaching the money. If I lose this hand I still have 2000 chips left, and could stand a decent chance if I play well.

Never mind. This is a Sit n' Go. This is a horrible call. Your status quo equity of folding is too high in relation to you calling and losing.

hell no.

as it turns out you are 2:1 dog, your pot odds are 1.9:1

this is a best case scenario for you, with one opponent dominating the other. most of the time you are 3:1 or 4:1, you can't call this.

but that only because you know what they have.

lets say one of them already has a pair. then you are behind 4-1 not the 2-1 you were hoping for.

worst case scenario over pair vs higher suited connectors (j10hearts), vs 34hearts, now you are looking at close to 6-1.

alex is right even though, sometimes i'll take that shot believing its 2-1, especially if its a re buy situation.
