Could someone explain why this is an automatic push? No numbers required in awsner but greatly appreciated [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

in theory, BB would be nuts to call a push with anything but a top hand. so you're going to pick up those 450 dead chips 90% of the time, and even when you're called you'll suck out to a likely first place finish 25-33% of the time (rough guess).

basically, with 4 left you can prey on your opponents' fear of going out fourth to build the big stack for when the table goes down to the final 3, optimizing your probability of finishing first.

is this okay or do you want more?
