I'm sure this has been posted millions of times but the search function shows like a hundred results just from the past few days alone...

This is a 10+1 Party game:

Raised AKos from EP to 70 in the first round. Button re-raises all in. Is calling a -EV play?

At $11s, it is definitely, definitely ++EV. Some may disagree but I call with the quickness. Sometimes you're a coin flip, usually you've got him dominated.

I'm a little more on the fence on this one. Chip EV it's obviously +EV, but the times you lose you are completely out of the tournament, so that has to be factored into the equation, ie the MoneyEV

Were it me, I would have folded and made a mental note.

The farther away from the bubble you are, the more it plays like a cash game. 10 players = go for all the +cEV you can get, and ship it batches

I'm sorry, but I cannot see an advantage in having 1600 chips 60% of the time and having 0 chips 40% of the time versus having 730 chips 100% of the time. To me, this is not close. But I can be proven wrong.
