    Fold or call ?

    Little background info 1st

    Reach the final table of the $3.30 1.5k Guaranteed on PS - 2600 players and ive played TA for the majority of the game. Had a decent run of cards and only a few minor setbacks.

    At the final table i go out to the below hand for a cash of $195 - not to bad.

    Anyway reason i called was that id made some notes of how loose a player he was earlier in the tourney (Spent 3hours at same table) where he was 3 betting 4 betting with garbage and then hitting massive hands. This continues at the final table as well.

    My question is would you fold or call here - by the way this is this only player at the table i would call against - i would usually fold here and wait for a better chance with 20BB left - unless my notes tell me otherwise.

    Would very much appreciate BBP opinions on this as i feel i made the right call here for once - even though it didnt work out.

    FYI im pawse1971 - on PS

    I like it. I'd be pretty comfortable stacking off with AQo button vs. sb vs. most players with these stacksizes. Especially with your note.

    Cheers for the replies - reassuring to know you would have made the same call. He bombed out soon after anyways.

    Enjoyed the game and made a few quid so cant complain.
