So I just want to get your opinions on this situation:
It is a home game NLHE MTT of about 15 people. Two tables are running and the one I am at is down to 6 players. I had just lost a race and was a micro-stack----$100 left which is the amount of the small blind.
I'm waiting for a hand, folding junk. Then the guy in 1st position goes all-in. He is shortstack too but he has around $500-$600 in chips. I'm behind him and pick-up 67s. I call hoping for the long shot quadruple up. I didn't make it but what do you think of the decision? |

You pretty much have to go all-in at some point soon. However, if you still have a few hands to go before the blind hits you, I would probably fold here. The other guy either has two face cards/pocket pair/or something similar. You would be drawing slim, especially with at least one or two more callers to come (assuming people would call just to try to eliminate two players at once).
Fold this and hope for a better hand before the blind hits. |

The "average" hand of all possible hold 'em hands is Q6o (or maybe its J6). You have 2 more hands to go before you post. Fold and wait for something slightly better. |

but if you're playing a contrarian strategy here, you'd figure he'd be going in with big cards so maybe your 67 has a decent chance against him? Especially if its just heads up. That's one of those pick-a-hand scenarios, do you feel lucky?

lil suited connectors are for seeing flops cheaply...
in an all-in you want a pair or big cards. i'd have waited. you're next hand is almost certain to be a better all-in than 67 |

$100 is cheap 
DD, what did the all-in have anyway?

Also consider the fact that you did have the advantage of being the first one to go all in, big difference calling an allin vs being the one to bet allin. |

4 people in the hand, I fold if I have a few hands to wait.
Heads up, I'd go for it. Mid suited connected cards are pretty strong heads up, and with 100 left I'd probably give it a shot. |
