Jacen299;340068 wroteI'm looking for advice on calling in that situation given blinds and antes, with near minimum raise, with chip stack sizes. I lean towards calling with anything. I guess I'm wrong.
Bolded the part of importance.
Calling OOP with any two cards, and likely having to c/f the vast majority of the flops is -EV and is definitely a leak. I don't care how you spin it, you aren't going to win enough hands to make this +EV over the length of time.
In this instance, you called about 6% of your stack and put at risk 71% of your stack with what amounted to a stop and go. Had villain read through your range of hands and included any sort of draws, he should've shoved.
Had this been a cash game where both hero and villain are deeper, I can see a call here. But not in a 20minute blind level tourney with 23BB's and effective stacks of less than 17bb's.
The other hands I have no issue with.
