Is the maths OK?

I'll be honest, I haven't had chance to review this one yet and too tired to do it tonight, but what do we think about this call?  In the 15 seconds I had to work it out, I thought the maths was just about right to make the call.

Was last 7 of a Velocity tournament so blinds were pretty fast and furious.

    actually, now I look at it up on the screen, I'm more than happy with the call.  Don't think I really have a choice.

    Yeah, you are getting better odds than Donk got, so this is pretty simple call with 3.6:1 pot odds.

    Yep..last to act, over 3:1 odds and probably two live cards so 40:60, i feel that this is a good call but one that you may get some abuse for fron a less knowledgeable player who just sees 6 and 2, especially if it sucks out.
    I don't know how the velocity works but your poker IMO was spot on. Mind i wouldn't have called but i'm not as good as you fella!!
