Seems a straightforward enough call to me. If we assign him a shoving range of A2+/K2+/broadway/pairs then we're 40% against that range. If we assume ATC then we're 55% against that range.

I call in this spot.

Only 6 left so easily in the money and calling / losing still leave you with around 10 bigs which is a more than big enough shoving stack.  Winning the hand sees you up to around the 100k mark and should be getting top two with that.

I fold pretty quickly without reads that I might be ahead at least some of the time.

Call, we are pretty much getting 2 to 1. His range would have to be very tight to fokl here.

[ ] Need to be ahead of any of his range to call.

It's just about a call generally, but that means it's definitely a call in a bounty tournament.

Yeah I called and lost to A-2. Just wanted to check, the fact I'd have 13BB's if I folded and 10 if I called meant I'd still be a pushbot anyway.
