You make this call? Pretty much a coinflip for a top heavy pay out structure.

Comments, w00t.

No, with a shrinking M, I prefer first in vig and small PP's are too vulnerable without it.

I think you could wait a bit longer for a better hand than 55. Plus you also want to be the pusher on these types of hands to get fold equity.

I fold for 2 reasons. I want first in vig. I'm on the button next hand, and get 6 free hands before I pay again.

it's far from a coinflip

and I the overlay from blinds/antes doesn't compensate you enough to make up for it

also, don't show any action after your call please.

It's much better to cut your post off where you called and had no more info than that.

The board cards don't really have any affect on the preflop action... in fact they don't whatsoever?

So the majority opinion is fold, wait for a better spot. Thx.

they influence peoples views
sorry, it's true
thx
