Hey Barry. I'm following you on #twitter. How come no follow back?:)

[after further reflection I have decided to edit my previous hastily written remarks] The AJo is a fold for me with 16bb 9 handed - 8 handed I'm not sure. The T7o is another close decision. All I have to say is that it is nice to know that an accomplished professional like yourself is not quite sure what to do in a spot like this either. What I would like to know is - assuming there is no fold equity, what does the math say about a) the likelihood that this hand will be ahead against a random hand ( although it is really not even random since 6 people have already folded ) , and b) the likelihood that a better spot will be found in the next round? Is there a computer program that has calculated this? Is there a definitive answer about what to do here...... or do we just have to resort to "card sense" ? Anybody?

Although it is a close decision my card sense and experience (limited as though it may be) tells me to shove, that I might not find a better spot.
