how can you fold in this situation?

in a small stakes dym, getting near the end with blinds at 200/400.

small stack in SB goes all in for 590, big stack already in the BB with about 3k chips back folds!!!

not a hint of any collusion in this game, but I think this if I was in this position I would have called with 7 2 off:)

It's absolutely the correct thing to do in a DYM if there are four of you left (you haven't said). DYMs are all about survival, so there is no way the big stack should be calling off 590 chips with any two cards (at any point in the game).

he was big blind slip - it would cost him 190 to call! any 2 call!

Well I assume when u say all in for 590 that's not 590 more!

Agreed if it's 190 more, but I read it as 590.

not a DYM player, but I think I would be calling 190 extra with any 2... you are getting 5:1 to knock him out, and finish the dym and losing doesnt effetc your chances much.

apologies, yes it was 190 more, and it was down to 4 players left

Should be a call all day long with any hand its only 190 chips on top of the bb so makes no sense too fold.

maybe the bb has been on several tables and not realised the player was so low and just folded not realising it was the shortie that had shoved.

The player could have been multi tabling and just pressed the "check/fold" button.
