Re: [ba-poker] Play or Fold???

It wouldn't be much of a mistake to call with any 2 cards in that spot. 
Without the complete details of the payouts and other chip stacks and 
playing styles of the other opponents, I can't say for sure but given that 
fifth is $190 more and first is $4250 and you're likely to chop 5th place if 
you do bust this hand, you should pretty much play for 1st place, or at 
least top 3 or 4.
