A tough spot in DYM Turbo - do you call or fold?

My reasons for calling are......

1. Blinds are very big and it's a chance to end the game here and now. I sensed the initial shover wasn't too strong.
2. I still would have had a playable stack if initial shover had won the hand and I had won the side pot (approx 1000 chips) against second shover.

    I would have been folding being in the Big Blind and 'coz you were acting after 2 shoves. TT isn't really strong enough in your position with 5 players left imo. The second shover could have had AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AK, AQ etc. all of which have you in trouble. Let him do the damage, either to himself or to KO the initial shover. In the end you were unlucky to lose on the River but i don't think you need to be gambling at this point. I'm sure others more qualified will help.

    Was Kernnal short with like 300 - 500 left?

    He will be going into the BB next hand and would be basically allin then.

    If this is the case I fold based on Kernnals stack.

    Kernnal has 1380 chips left according to my calculations.

    May have miscounted.

    Hmmm, in that case I probably favour call over folding for the reasons you gave. If you think you are beating Sabre74s range its a call. LUKE00 can be very light here and Sabre74 would likely know this.

    I think this is a call with your hand and your stack. But as other person suggests its about the situation of other people being busted and the hand is multiway and there are five left and your hand is vulnerable to overs. You would not fold if it was heads up but you have 3.4 blinds left. Its a hard one.

    Gosh..with your pockets and your relatively big stack left if either calls you I would have gone all in- one of them would have folded to protect their position, maybe

    what do I know..my username/the way I play I should be called donkey!!
