Hero?

Table has been pretty tight with both short stacks trying to outlast one another, but button has been mid range for caling raises now that he has a big stack.

BTW, my Eastbay tool is on my work PC for now, so I cant check myself.

Instinct tells me this is a push, meh.

And SNGPT agrees with me, even putting big stack on "maniac" and the two shorties on "average".

The thing I find quite surprising is that, even if as big stack you have your 1405 stack pushing with "loose" requirements, this is only a call with 8% of hands, 66+, AJo+, and ATs+. This is, in fact, exactly the "average" requirements, meaning your EV is even higher, at +1.4%.

Thanks, thats what I thought. My 4th place finishes when I am playing with 1 or 2 short stacks has been a big leak that I am trying to plug, thanks.
