Yes it is a bad call. Youve a 54 % chance of being knocked from a double or nothing. Of course you fold, If it wasnt a Don the its a call alrite but for a Don its a defo fold

its a low flop, the max he can have is a A10, which puts him in front but the odds are on your side. Perhaps its a bit risky to think this way in a begining level of an MTT, but i would give the call.

Not now. Nor should you call the rais pre, you should raise it up. id allso probably be re-raising the flop aswell. Id only be calling from this situation unless I had nut flush draw and open edn str8 draw.

Why do we play the hand in a DoN in the first place? Muck it preflop. After the flop being in a sandwich sucks. This hand proofs it again. We have the odds to call, and in a cash game or a normal tourney it would be an easy call. But DoNs are another type of animal.

Posted by DaneMitic: 10/20 blinds... lol.. too bad i dont play dons anymore, i would love to have u on my table... fishy fishy
in this spot yes but i usually dont have to take such decisions in a don as i usually play like shokaku tells.. maybe the beat before on other table pushed me on tilt ( KK lost vs 99 on river)

Posted by doomdy: In a regular its more tempting to call this one, in a DoN its an absolute no
Edit: Very good question btw
I think ill follow the advice of an expert so its a no ! (and indeed, good to take risk when the ratio of winning really increase with position : i mean if first get really more money, good to take more risk to reach this place. Otherwise, no need to risk, so you fold

I don't think that it is worth it, as there are two all ins already so probably someone has his straight already made and your over cards would be no good. Fold

+1 to both remarks. This is a DoN, you dont really need to accumulate chips, you want to survive and yes, a very good question as it makes you really think. I wish more polls were around questions like this one instead of inane situations
too early
