The point is that A7o isn't always a fold.
The situation I'm talking about is the one "edlio" is telling us. And I made another example after T3ddyKGB saying that he always folds A7o no matter what. Maybe I misunderstodd something, but I don't think so (then please tell me what).
I have read a lot of books, but I don't see them as "the law", different from a lot of other players. I have played a lot of tourneys with both success and unsuccess

Well the truth is I was shortstack with 900 chips and the guy who called had about 2100 chips (blinds were 100/200). But never mind, the fact is not if he had to call or not, it's that the whole table considered me a donk for going all in with 99.

"Grandma's finest cooking"
Per Hildebrand, Phil Helmuth Jr, Mattias Dimfelt, Marko Erola, Aki Pyysing, Collin Moshman + some other books. But as I said, imo, these books are far from always learning you what's right.

What?
With 4,5 BB left you HAVE to go all-in with that hand (and much worse). Especially as you are the one who moves in first.

Haha
But it happens a lot when you play. Sometimes you get sucked out and other times you win. I usually do not chat with other players or comment how other players are playing, but sometimes it's hard not to say "lol" or "nice catch".

Posted by Forcod: Interesting. SNG, NL Texas Hold'em, 3 places paid, 4 players left. Blinds 100/200. UTG is fi1 with 400 chips. He raises all-in. fi2 folds, small blind folds. One player left, and that's you. You're dealt A7o and it costs 200 chips to call. Your stack is about 3000. What do you do?
a) fold b) call
CALL, you only need a 25% chance to win for it to be a correct call, 200 for an 800 pot
wrong thread?
