What would you need to hold to call?

[RuleBritannia]

I can't find the HH on this fcuked up machine of mine, so will set up the scenario as best as I can remember. This caused a bit of a fight on the FT of th super series the other night, all sorts of insults thrown about etc..... but just wondering what you would do in this situation and what you would need to be holding to call? For scenario purposes I will put seat 1 as 1st to act and so forth.... 9 players left and prizes as we know are top heavy........ Blinds 2k/4k Seat 1(105k) - FOLDS Seat 2 - FOLDS Seat 3 - FOLDS Seat 4 (60k)- Raises to 20k Seat 5 (120k)- FOLDS Seat 6 - FOLDS Seat 7 - Button - FOLDS Seat 8 - SB - FOLDS Seat 9 (88k)- (me) BB - Calls All In Seat 4 - Thinks for a while then FOLDS. I had been playing quite aggressively on the FT, after being fairly passive/tight to actually get to the FT in the first place. Having no SURE knowledge of what I had, and knowing that you have only 10x BB left and one of the small stacked, after having initially raised for 1/3 of your stack, what would you have needed to hold in your hands for you to actually call? By that I mean, what are you not folding here and what are you folding?

Re: What would you need to hold to call? What hand could he have? The question is what his intention with the raise was. Hardly a steal with so many left to act? :unsure Is he raising for value with a legitimate hand? Before his raise he have a M of 10, which makes him not desperate in any way, but i can't really see what he would raise with for 1/3 of his stack, only to later fold? Especially with top heavy prizes you have to take some chances as one of the smaller stacks, your primary aim should always be to win the whole thing. As you stated, he thinks for awhile and then folded, which makes me think he raised with something like AT, AJ, low pocket, some hand that is quite strong, but when you push he gets cold feet and realize he may be dominated. So it looks like a mistake from him. So to answer your question, it depends on what the intention of the raise was (and a lot of other factors not described in your post) Maybe i'm just rambling but that's just some thoughts
