Interesting spot...180s..

<< < (2/3) > >>

TheSnapper:
For seat 4 this is the funnest spot ever, all the shorter stacks are in a folding war and he should abuse the bejaysus out of them.

As for your question, it"s quite a broad question and there is no real correct answer other than, it depends largely on what the other shorties do. When a shorty is ai versus the big stack the other 3 players benefit hugely in $EV.

Where is the Button?

In this situation what does it matter that much?

Because if we have the btn and the blinds are due to go up in the next 2 hands, im folding more than I would if we are BB next hand and the blinds just went up ldo!

Clearly the situation changes hand to hand, but IMO as it stands I would only be calling with AK and 99+. If the big stack is calling with Q+ thats about 70% of his range and even if he folds sounds like others likely to call so it looks as if you have virtually no fold equity. So pushing range should be similar to calling range.

Everybody has already won minimum of $23 each so $189 left to allocate. Expected extra winnings of big stack approx $78, leaving $28 extra expected winnings on average for other players. If you go all in and double up you will only increase your expected extra winnings to approx $42. So whenever you are all in you want to expect to win 66% of time (28/42). Against Q+ that is AK, 99+.

So the best strategy for the time being IMO to maximse your expected prize money is to sit tight, hope to get dealt a monster hand, watch the other players get knocked out and ladder up.

deanp27:
if they are going beserk let them. I"d just go with anything decent as and when the spot arises but not making any hero folds for the sake of ICM, rightly or wrongly.

Fatcatstu:
I honestly cannot stress enough how bad sitting and doing nothing is in this situation. You take away your chance to win the tournament.  10c

You want to be top 2 in these, the rest of the money is nor worth worrying about. Attack the short stacks
