Observed Step 5 Higher hand - WTF???

[TT_fold]

How does actionlt not push in this spot? With the #2 stack in the BB, actionlt folds his SB.

I dunno but they do pay 4 spots with a top heavy first place prize, thus BB will not usually be as tight as normal as if they only paid 3.

Multi-tabling mistake?

[curtains]

btw I agree that despite all that it's probably +EV to push with any 2 against most typical opponents.

The step 5 highers have a 50/30/20 payout, not the 45/25/18/12 of the regular step 5s.

It only pays out top 3 spots I think, 50/30/20 pay out.

Ohhh step 5 higher....yeah bad fold. Of course theres also a higher chance of cheating at that level.

Yes, the Step 5 Higher's are $5,000+300 tourneys now with a 25K/15K/10K payout structure.

And FWIW, actionlt was eliminated in 4th.

am i missing something here???

[lacky]

it's a blind steal oppertunity, sb should push any 2 here basically, but if you know bb will call far too often that's no longer true, so with no added info, who knows really.
