P.S. no real info on any of the players.

I hate to do it with the blinds this high and my stack this short but I'd probably fold..then again you're getting 3-1 when you need a double up...4 times you chips would be nice so you could be forgiven for calling I guess. where are you non average chips? IOW how many players are likely to drop in the next few hands and get you into the money?

If you need the cash then it's a fold. if all you care about is winning and you realise you're not in a position to do so you could call I guess.

[barhell]

before i paid the blind i was sitting  45th in chips. does this affect your decision?

yeah it does if you need the cash...you could sneak into the money I guess as the button will pass if you fold every hand from now on. So if you need the cash it's a clear fold.

I personally would probabably call though..you need thechips to much IMO and if noone else has your ten I wouldn't mind my odds too much.

[barhell]

I did decide to call.

I decided that i could fold to the money $8 buy in $16 for 45th but i decided that if i hit here i was setting myself up for a chance to move up the chip rankings and possibly make a bigger return which is the whol;e point i suppose.
thanks for your views boldie.

[temp0r]

[AlexMartin]

On the face of it I'd fold.

Why does FruitBatCat only have 2,420 chips?  Has he just taken a bad beat or has he been sitting waiting and waiting (getting blinded away) for a big pocket pair.

That aside, after seeing two guys go all in what does Blue Howler have that is willing to risk going out the Tournamnet?

I think one of them at least has a big pocket pair and one probably has AK AQ etc..

[Boba Fett]

I agree, with an all in (albeit from a short stack), a reraise all in from a biggish stack and a call from another short stack its very unlikely your TT is ahead, at best they may all have big Aces.  Fold and stick your money in in a better situation

[UpTheMariners]

fold, you'd be better pushing with any 2 next hand... little bit of fold equity with 5k

[M3boy]

Fold? Really?!?!?

He has 5100 AND is posting 1200 for the BB - leaving him with 3900 back.

Stick it in.
