if u read the theory of doubling up in the book mathematics of poker, u will see there after reading about size of field and the players perceived edge in buy in"s that u can begin to work it out...
go to page 316 and there example of QQ v AK in a 250 player mtt, the maths works out that in which to decline the perceived flip you would have to have a edge of 3x the avg equity in the mtt... as they go on to say, to have such an edge of 3x in a typical mtt field u would be amongst the best players in the world...

apply their skill, the worse off the losing player will be. Hence, they should be willing to commit
all their chips in zero-EV situations or even slightly bad ones.

good book, math intensive but worth persevering with....

Serious question:-

Are you saying that if you hold AK vs QQ you should call going by this? I would have assumed that to be a fold.

noble1:
how many players in the mtt, how good are they, are we on a good table, do we have the skill to pick up chips in other ways besides hoping to pick up good hands, how good are we?

how many times do we need to double up to even get into the money?

factor in all the above [plus more] and yes sometimes call with QQ...
