Do you call here? I know the limp/all-in and call of that looks super scary (not too worried about CO), but the odds I'm gettin are redic and I'm not in trouble if I lose the hand, but chip up nicely if I win it. Only really have to be real concerned about two hands. Call to get a nice stack?

even if you're up against AA and KK you still have about 11% equity, and i think that having a 10k stack early helps to make up for any -EV you suffer by calling.

(i call too)

Actually, I think it is only 4.5:1 (call 1845 to win 8320), but even then you're a 34-66 dog to KK and a 13-87 dog to AA. So, you're getting correct odds to play against KK and only slightly worse to play against AA, and there's no guarantee those hands are in play. It's an easy call.

Elimination sucks, but 10k chips from jump is kinda sexy. I'd call it and cry when I lost declaring it unfair I didn't beat out the AA or KK.
