[schwza]

someone had a post about this idea ~ a week ago (sorry, too lazy to link).

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (3 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx (http://www.zerodivide.cx/converter)

SB (t1660)
Hero (t500)
Button (t5840)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif, J/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t900</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t1660 (All-In)</font>, hero?

the only reason i'd play this hand is that i have 60% invested in the BB - i'd be putting in my last 200 to win 1500. if i had 7k playing this hand would absolutely terrible.

[/ QUOTE ]You want to compare your chances of surviving the three-way pot with the chances the bid stack wins in a two-way, right? As long as the big stack has two live cards, I think his winning chances in the two-way are better than yours in the three-way. And, the big stack could be ahead or in a coin flip. Also, you aren't sure to come 2nd even if you survive the three-way.

This sums up my thinking exactly. I would fold.
