since it's been down to 3 it's been fast and wild. all-ins almost every hand. is it reasonable to make this play? i thought it was but the other players at the table seemed to think it was stupid.

I don't think it's fantastic, no.

I think you should play the way you want to play. Don't worry about what others think. Today I got called a tard for calling with this hand. And I would call with it again.

"All-ins almost every hand" might be the key here. At one point somebody has to call. It might as well be you with KQs.

If it's all-in almost every hand, I call this without hestitation.

Your not out if you lose, your strong if you win, and if it's that wild, you're probably favourite. I agree with your call.

Really eh? I think this is a mandatory call. Play around with SNGPT.

I'm at work so I can't, but I reckon his range will need to be top 25%? At a hunch.

Well, I don't work so I played around with SNGPT.

I found to make this a +0.6% EV play, villain needs to be pushing top 33% or 22+,A2+,K6o+,K2s+,QTo+,Q8s+,JTs.

Thumbs up. You're not the villain either.

"since it's been down to 3 it's been fast and wild. all-ins almost every hand. "

That was in the OP so the ranges ran were probably too tight anyways. I ran it on maniac and got +1.6%.

This is no g00t becase the bad guy can have the enormous slick.
