$0.55 NLHE MTT Turbo: Pre - Easy call or fold?

[darthdimsky]

Hi,

Situation at the moment is I'm 14/19 players remaining. Top 14 going through. This to me this is an easy call, knowing that atleast one or potentially both are holding A highs, seriously increasing my chances of tripling up almost.

But given that we are so close to the bubble, should I have considered picking better spots at a later stage.

PokerStars - 4000/8000 Ante 800 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

MP+1: 11.97 BB (VPIP: 35.00, PFR: 10.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, hands: 20)
MP+2: 6.27 BB (VPIP: 25.53, PFR: 2.22, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 48)
Hero (CO): 6.05 BB
BTN: 3.48 BB
SB: 15.51 BB
BB: 8.89 BB
UTG: 5.55 BB
UTG+1: 15.87 BB
MP: 7.69 BB (VPIP: 17.65, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 17)

9 players post ante of 0.1 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.4 BB) Hero has K♦ K♣

UTG raises to 5.45 BB and is all-in, UTG+1 raises to 9.9 BB, fold, fold, fold, Hero....

just get it in. we probably can't fold our way through 5 players regardless; but if we're folding KK or even JJ or TT we're never giving ourself a chance to actually build a stack to WIN the thing. that's where all the money is....up top

As for me easy call, u behind pre only for AA and u have only 6 BB. Ur call in distance will be in plus for sure

Oh gosh, sorry, forgot to mention it's a satellite. That's why I posted. Top 14 going through. Pls ignore if this doesn't change the outcome in your opinions.

In any way ur call will be fine in that situation taking into account that ur stay with 6BB and on 14 place. If big stack dont knokaut that small stack push ur on 15place after hand and u need to go in action in few next hand.

It’d be tough for me to ever fold here. The stack sizes mean the blinds likely won’t be involved unless it’s also a monster for them. UTG should have any two here. The all in could represent a wide holding as well. That said, I don’t want to be up against 2 as the third in with much less than KK. If I had more chips this moves closer to a fold.
