ye. pretty short stacked and blinds will be up soon. so this is probably the best chance to get enough chips to make the money. there pretty small chance im a favourite but if i fold here and get a double up be ill still be shortstacked.

Ok, let's count the problems:
1. $1 tourney. 2. 505 chips! What is that? Maybe u suffered bad beat, but why u have 505? 3. Raised pot, and 1 donky call, prices u in, btw. 4. You spewed off 2k, why not spew the 505? 5. You have no clue how to play a short stack, though you are often a short stack? Just guessing. So let's see how lucky I can get, cause methinks you need it now. 6. With an open and call, you priced in, with a kacky A. Not gonna find a better spot in the, what, next 3 hands? 7. As a SS, you need to be the aggressor, not the spewer. You want to be the shove, not the caller, reraiser, unless you have top 10 hand. 8. You have A8o!
Fold. If you have to ask, well, there u have it. Better to open shove 76o, than call/raise in this spot.

Call is always wrong. Shouldn't be an option. Push against only one player would be the right move to do, but against 2 is close. I would fold, survive another round and peek a better spot to make a move. But you will have to do it on the next round.

Although you are short stacked and with so many players still left in tournament i would fold in that situation , A8o is not my faviorite/lucky hands and after a raise being called already i don't think its good to call it, but anyway if you are to take your chances better allin than call since you are already committed to pot.

my sentiments exactly - u coulda waited 4 better spot. after a raise n call ur a8o has gotta be behind - u woulda been better off wi connectors or even 8-6 10-8 etc. INSTAFOLD. tho in ur defence u were pretty fuct anyway.

You have to be the pusher (no drugs I mean ) not the caller or the reraiser. in a 3-way pot with A8 you have to be very lucky but I don't think it would pay in the long term

omg... what a simple quistion!!! This is a push ofc!!! Look, he puts BB and in next play with put SB. A8o isn't dream cards, anyway is a good game to push AI if you weren't domanated. BTN have a large range and he have chips, this is a easy push, i dont understand the 81% to fold in questionary :s... but if you want the true answer, download SNGWizard and make the simulation!!!
