Do you guys think that calling here pre-flop is ok? This hand is played after the money bubble has burst.

Only 6 hands played by SB: VPIP 33 PFR 33 Steal 50 (1 of 2 )

pokerstars, $2.94 + $0.36 - Hold'em No Limit - 1,000/2,000 (250 ante) - 6 players


UTG: 115,763 (58 bb)
MP: 57,800 (29 bb)
CO: 32,800 (16 bb)
BU: 45,505 (23 bb)
SB: 34,767 (17 bb)
BB (Hero): 43,586 (22 bb)

Pre-Flop: (4,500) Hero is BB with 9♦ A♥
4 players fold, SB raises to 34,517 (all-in), Hero calls 32,517



I need to make a correction this is not a bounty event.

His stats could be misleading with only 6 hands. I recently fell into the trap with 24 hands and the HUD being a little off. 😅

He's a little too deep for a jam here, so my guess would be he has a PP and doesn't want to play it Post-Flop OOP.

Personally, I would not risk 17 BBs with A9o, even if my guess is wrong and he has some rubbish.

So I would tend to fold here. 🙂

You don't have enough information about him , 6 hands its not enough data .
He shoves 17 blinds , i think neither call or fold is not wrong .
I would personally fold because you have only 22 blinds and if you lose you will have only 5 blinds and risk your life in tournament so for that reason i would fold and try to take his chips in a better spot .

I'd say call every time in this exact situation.

You have 22 BB...you're against only one opponent.
You're asking us were you right to risk 14BB to win a 20BB pot...and you are holding an Ace. If not now... when?


Sod the data, GTO, CRT or even Kid Poker sat on your shoulder whispering "pocket jacks...he's got pocket jacks"

You Call !

There may be multiple players that you'll have to push into soon yourself with Qs,10s....and if you lose here ,you're still alive with 6BB and have a whole circuit to sit there...., plenty of time to shove a suited connector !

It is a very large open jam, which is a little bit concerning. But on the other side A9o is a very strong hand blind vs. blind, and unless there is some extreme ICM-pressure like on a SnG bubble, its usually a hand, we have to call a SB open jam with.

You may be ahead in this hand, but I think that with 22bb it doesn't worth the risk. You could keep playing and waiting for better hands/situations.

Even tho the blind-numbers were mentioned incorrect a bit, totally agree.

This hand is a shove-call hand on BB, and you could even rescue 5bbs if not succeed, but gaining up to 40+bbs with a hold.
Your hands are really close here, we expect many Kxs some Qxs some straight hands all kind of pockets and all kind of Ax to move in (even with 17bbs its possible). Min-bet could be also a thing from opp, but you're in the money, having one of the smallest stacks its totally ok to go like this, and your job is to make a call, not the table being able to shove on you any two, but still have a valid and solid chance to take this down.

Depends on how you evaluate your chances to get a better spot.
In a Hyper or Turbo call might be justified but in Regular and especially Slow tournaments
I'm folding there for so many blinds.

In 6 handed play the even thought the blinds are increasing after 10 min, the play is way faster then in a regular tournament and those 22bb in one level can easily go down to 15BB
