I have 20 - 25BB and im sitting on the big blind.

It's mid way through the torny and im sitting just under average stack.

The guy on the dealer button has ruffly 10 - 15 BB and has been attacking the blinds and anties.

I'm dealt A 5 offsuit and i know his going to make a move on my BB.

Do i gamble knowing that i will most probably be a 60% favourite?

Or do i fold and wait untill i can be the agressor on somebody else?

We should be taking advantage of every edge.

So if you know/think you are a 60% favorite, it's an easy call.
