    23 players left in a 25$ turbo rebuy on stars. 13 places pay and the average is roughly 25000. blinds will prob go up hand after next to 4k/8k. The stacks are preflop, before the antes and blinds have been taken out.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t6000 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG (t44498)
    Player A (t5407)
    MP1 (t11087)
    MP2 (t27100)
    CO (t23040)
    Button (t13970)
    Player B (t20020)
    BB (t17010)

    Preflop: Player B is SB with 7diamond.gif, 2spade.gif.
    1 fold, Player A calls t5107 (All-In), 4 folds, Player B ?

    Player B, SB, has no info on the BB.

    Player B has 20K after posting the big blind? And blinds are 3K/6K? Wow, what a crapshoot. Player A essentially has a random hand, so 72o should be a 2/1 dog against his range. So you're getting a good price to call; the extra 3K in SB money is profit (if I'm reading it right). It's a clear call for me. Being so short, this is as good a wager as you're going to get. Take it.

    just highlighted a bit of info. Player B is the SB. the stacks are before the antes and blinds are taken. yeah its a total crapshoot but so much fun, and quite profitable!

    A's hand isnt random

    lol, I might as well have read a different thread. I don't know how I picked it up so wrong. I didn't even realise it's a Turbo!

    With blinds so big compared to stack sizes, then getting the money in with any hand preflop can never be too bad here. If you push will you get it heads up with the all-in guy? I don't like if the BB calls, but I think I push it anyway,

    its this type of situation that makes these games so much fun. Anyway player B pushes and I am player A and have KQ, i lose but thats not the point i had just lost most of my stack prev.

    I would have done the same in his spot as player B, becuase he has no fold equity in the next hand and with the blinds going up soon he isnt finding any spots at all.
