Do you call here? Note the short stack, do we wait for him to bust (or at least make us be pushing rather than calling).


Poker Stars, $13.89 Buy-in (100/200 blinds) No Limit Omaha H/L Tournament, 4 Players

SB: 1,018 (5.1 bb)
BB: 6,395 (32 bb)
CO: 3,590 (18 bb)
Hero (BTN): 2,497 (12.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with Q A 4 A
CO raises to 3,590 and is all-in, Hero

YES

fist bumps and ships it in.

Wow. I really miss playing SNGs. I try not to think about it too much and then I read a post and I remember how great it was.

there is certain situations where you could argue about folding such a hand in 18man, but never in a stt. Always go for first and risk being the bubble a lot wider.

level?

Call for first

Not as clear cut as what all of you are saying. Do the ICM, it's close. If CO was a little bit shorter or sb a little bit deeper, it'd be a snap but as things stand u dont actually increase ur equity that much with a scoop. Shortest stack will still hav 5bbs and u cant own the bubble because ul still be 2nd in chips.

Zuri, maybe you were speaking in a general sense but to say that you would never fold this hand in a 9man is ridiculous.

Cmon be serious people dont fold AA preflop

Fold if you hate money.

It is like folding kings on the bubble in holdem.

Shrug, there have been other threads this month where people are advocating not to get all in pre with AA3x etc. in case you lose , and they weren't even on the bubble.

It's clear CALL.

If the small stack were much smaller (1-2BB), then fold might be an option.

obv its a snap call

i would be calling with AK4x or better in that situation, am not playing for a min cash and most villains ship with a very wide range there.
