This came from a three handed home game. Player A is weak, player B maybe has a slight edge over player C heads up.

Player A - 790 chips
Player B - 1220 chips
Player C - 990 chips

Blinds 20/40

Player A (dealer) folds.
Player B calls
Player C raises to 100.
Player B re-raises to 300.
Player C re-raises all in.

There are now 1290 chips in the middle.

It would cost player B 690 chips to call. He'd get a little under 1.9-1 on his money.

Player B holds K7 suited. He has a decent read on player C and puts him on an ace and any kicker above 5.

If you were player B would you call?

Help settle an argument!

IMO a no-brainer - fold.

Depending on the kicker it's a marginal call based on odds alone (just under 2 to 1 if kicker is 8 or above).
But the inference from your post is that player B has an edge over the other two, and the blinds mean there is still some play left in the game.
Fold probably gives a greater positive expectation than a call.

Having said that, I don't think you can be too critical of a call.

Jak.

getting 2-1 for your money and you know your only a 6-4 dog you would be stupid not to call

I guess it would completely depend on payout, is it a winner takes all thingymebob?

I don't like the range he's put him on, Coming over the top of a meaty re-raise for all his chips, I doubt he has A6o, A7o etc. (Then again, I don't know the guy, so he may be right)
Sounds like a case of putting your opponent on some cards that let you call though, the betting suggests a far stronger holding (like AK or similar pretty cards)

 ;iagree;  you dont go over the top of a raise and with Ax   player c holding AK makes player B a 3/1 dog - fold

sorry?

if he puts him on A 5+ it's a fold.

Don't forget that pot odds don't include the con of actually being eliminted from the comp. With 600+ you're still in with a good shout, especially if you consider yourself to be considerably more skillful than your opponents.

It's a marginal decision in my eyes.

If you've managed to get 25 big blinds in the pot with K7 sooted, how much edge can you have against this field?

lol my thought aswell.

in that case  ;all-in; :D
