    Depends on reads and mainly how often he's been shoving on your blind, if it's been liturally every orbit then easy call but if he's just been blinding down not playing any hands then suddenly does this it's probably a fold.

    Readless though I would call 4-handed as you should be well ahead of his range.

    Hi Rancid
    A little on the cusp...
    5bb after maybe less if near next level. Other two stack sizes are needed as existence of a micro is decision affecting. I assume there wasn't asyou'd have mentioned itand as approx 7.5k in chips between other two players lets assume one big stack and one around 2000.
    For me this is a knife edge call or fold so reads/ info / ss/ clock are helpful. With nothing unfavourable then its a call, imo as he is sb with <=4bb and possibly very big stack at able willing to aggress....you are probably ahead for his 4 bb range as he's getting desperate.
    Sorry its a little foggy but there are factors to consider, i feel. All the best....

    Ye you are ahead of a normal shipping range. Easy call with these stacks

    I can't fold this. Against a total nit random I can maybe fold, but this player is a reg, he knows what he's doing, he'll know he has to shove almost ATC here. With A9, I'm snapping this.

    It's a close one, normally against SaintHelen, it's an easy fold, but since they are on the button and only 4 x bb it's probably a call and cross your fingers.

    At the same time, there's no problem in folding here and then putting the squeeze on SaintHelen's blinds or you could wait until the big stacks step in and do it for you.

    This one is on the cusp in this spot!!
