Setting - 45 players left in a Full Tilt 90 player Turbo Knockout.
Average stack 6000, Hero largest stack in the entire tournament with slightly over 15K

Getting close to 2 to 1, plus a shot of getting 2 bounties and the call costing 20% of my stack approx. makes this a pretty standard call IMO.

3 Hands later - another standard spot.

I have some history with this player where I wrote down he has a tendancy to stop and go with a wide range, and also noted down donk bets = weak.

Obv with his hand, he was a fav. against my hand but I THINK it might've been the right play given my history with him - will have to pokerstove my equity in this spot when I get a chance to see what it looks like against his range.

So there you have it, a guide on how to go from big stack to short stack within an orbit.
