Re: Pop Quiz (part XXXIV) - Call or Fold I would call. You're getting about 7/1 on the hand to see a flop which is great value for me, also if you fold with the blinds going up soon even if you go all in in the next orbit you would be in the horrible position (which i'm in all the time) where the bigger stacks will call you with really marginal hands. It really wouldn't be that much more than the blinds and they'd still have a big stack so with all this in mind i think you have to call even though i really don't like Q10 generally in this situation i would.
