Top 63 pay, approx. 120 or so left from what I remember. ~700 entered. I have an average stack. Leaders have approx. 120k. After getting to something like 8k in chips after 15 minutes seeing QQ three times and KK once I got very cold-decked, and got to my chip position by gambling for most my chips with hands like KQs and 33 to get from 10k to 30k, then getting to 50k after flopping a flush and knocking a guy out.

MP2 is LAG. CO lost half his stack the hand before.

I possibly make a crying call here. But a fold is not out of line either.

Edit never mind I didn't realize you were the BB. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

I push. If you weren't BB, or one of their stacks was deeper, I think I would fold, but you only have to put in 10K to win over 20k. Especially with MP2 being a LAG, if you lose to CO but beat MP2, you only come out slightly behind than if you folded.

Assume you have no reads. Now what?

I'm wondering what the optimal EV play is here. I have a decent stack, and there is a huge risk/reward factor here. If I lose the hand, I have something like 20 BB's and the blinds increase soon. Cashing becomes my main priority.
If I win, though, I can make a charge for the higher level cash positions. And folding has its merits and non-merits too.

Results in white below:
