DYM Bubble - Thoughts??

edited June 2012 in The Poker Clinic
 DYM Bubble time.  BBBB has about 2200. MY thoughts...."I've just won a largish pot off CCCC and think he may be a bit tilted?  CL not been involved in a hand since he DU. OK I've got CCCC covered and if I lose I'm not out but do I wait another orbit?  Calling is NOT an option? I know I should shove and it's unlikely CL will get involved"
I'm after a bit of advice what my thinking should be in these spots (other than what I've just said) I find myself in this position quite frequently in DYM's. (FWIW I'd won 5 games in a row prior to this game and I wanted the roll to continue..)

    Think its a reshove, but DYM's not my game and I maybe working out the maths of it wrong. I'm assuming BBBB had a stack of what around 2600? Think on average you'd be a 60% favourite against CCCC if giving him a range of about 27% or so, which is quite likely, and maybe more. Still maybe some of the DYM specialists will disagree with this, as its not my main game by any means, and rarely play them.

    I'd call..... because you want the big stack to call too because if he does there's more chance of CCCC being eliminated, ie more likely you cash!

    yeah re shoving is not an option here.....its call or fold, i would also call and hope the big stack calls too

    He's less than 5BB's so his range is much wider than AJo. Consequently, call then other may call so can then practice implicit collusion to showdown.

    why is calling not an option? it's far better than shoving

    Thnx all for feedback.  @Shanks - These were my initial thoughts and wanted to get other views from the DYM "experts". 
    I couldn't decide if I wanted CL in pot or not and so it came down to call or shove. The concensus seems to be that I call?  
    The way the CL had been playing it seemed unlikely he would get involved unless he had a monster.

    Yeah it's a call Glenelg. If you call, you give the CL great odds to just call on the BB and check it down hoping to knock out the shorty and cash.

    you can fold or you can call and hope the bb checks it down. Id never reshove. 

     if the bb is an idiot i prefer just folding

    Snap call.   never ever ever ever ever ever re-shove.

    Thnx for replies guys, appreciated.  I decided calling was my best option.  Ignore the result, I got lucky.  I just wanted to confirm that call was my best move.
