Were prolly not folding in... Id take it. His min raise here doenst mean its aa/kk it could well just be that he is trying to steal without putting more at risk... I think you need one more win to lock in a seat, id take the queens.

had you seen him minraise before? He committed himself even with the minraise so it seem like it wants action. Noit necessarrily KK/AA but likely very strong. If your table is fairly non-resistant to steals, I rather avoid any kind of showdown, but I don't know if I'm capable of folding the queens.

Reads? Has he minraised before? Are short stacks at the table able to take the blinds by minraising?

meh = whatever = who cares = blah = i dunno...

As for the hand....

IF YOU PUSH... i'd guess that 60% of the time you win the pot and get the seat ($215-$77=$138). 40% you lose $77.

(215-77)*0.6 - 77*0.4 = +$52

if you fold... i'd guess you get the seat about 50% of the time (this # may be too high even)... so

(215-77)*0.5 - 77*0.5 = +$30.5

$52 > $30.5 =========== PUSH.

feel free to tweak the #s if you disagree.

Meh= that sound you make when you get it all in with aces and get called by J 9 offsuit and they flop the nut straight MEH (synonymous with sh@t, ugh, and da m it)
