Call, theres no point waiting for a better spot. You are going to make more chips and more money by taking more +ev calls.

Call. Even if it would be slightly -EV (which most likely is not), you should call because you don't have any FE when stealing from these micro 3bb stacks

you have just over 12bbs and a full orbit until the blinds hit you. i dont see any advantage in making a -EV call

I'd wait for another spot. 8 big blinds, and a full orbit till you're in the blinds again, try to catch a Kx or Ax hand in late position and go with it. I don't see the SB shoving with many worse hands than K2, but that's gonna depend on how aggressive it is.

Still a pretty close decision.

I disagree, given that he is a reg. Versus recreational player it's a snapfold, but regs should be wide enough there to make this call profitable. And we can't really wait for a better spot with these stack sizes on the table.

Snap call. If he is a reg he is shoving hands like Tx or 56s. I would call and I'm a nit.
