$Freeroll NLHE MTT: BB vs SB call or fold?

[mariussica88]

This hands are played in a hyper-turbo freeroll with 65 players remaining and 50 receive a ticket to Sunday Million anniversary. Haven't play much against this opponent since i was moved to this table recently, but in the 3 times that I was BB vs SB he pushed all in every time.

What I want to ask you guys is with which hands would you call against him?

In a normal MTT I would usually call with T8o given how short, your stack was, and the price you were getting. But in a satellite its really all about estimating the chance of folding into the money. And to do that we need to know, how many very short stacks were left at the other tables. With your stack, if you fold now, you are basically forced all-in, when the blinds come back to you. But if you are already in the money by then, it obviously wont matter. You could also get lucky and pick up a hand with a bit more equity than T8o, so its not a slam-dunk call even with 4 bigs.

At that point I was 62 from 65 left with first 50 get a ticket. Since it was a hyper-turbo tournament pretty much everyone was around 8-12 BB.

In that case you can not fold into the money, since everyone else will be trying to do the same. And then it is at least not a substantial mistake to make this call.

Thank you for posting

T7s has 3% more equity so it is where you call of the 2 hands

It may be helpful to you if you share the list of hands inbetween these 2 as you may have missed a hand you want to play when you are near to last place in a satty.

Hope this helps

Last week I was lucky to calculate it well, and took my timebank wisely in this sattie. Its a very uncomfortable structure deep.
I would say SB's range is unpredictable here, however I would be suprised to see him risking his stack with weaker hands than yours, just some connectors or low pockets from the bottom otherwise many high-card-X in the opp's hand, and I think all of that I mentioned is way too competitive in a sattie where 50 reach 215$ worthy tickets, others nothing. So hard decision especially we 're making a fold to an 1vs1 situation, but I would lean to pick up better cards in this situation this close the bubble.
Your left is not so powerful too, I would suggest to shove in the next 1-4 hands or call someone off with better hands in this period, in the meantime maybe the 65players will reduce a bit too.
