Default Re: positive chip EV, negative $EV? Im looking for some examples.

Folding is the only way to lose both money and chips in the long run.

How does folding this lose you chips in the long run AND lose you money in the long run?

If you call and lose, you lose both chips and money immediately (unless you have the better hand and win).

If you call and win, then you have MADE both chips and money (ostensibly in position to sneak into 3rd place when shorty busts).

If you fold, you are left with t600, but have MADE money assuming that UTG busts out and you sneak into the money. Since you will be the SB and will have to commit 200 of your puny 600 stack on the next hand to the 350 all-in BB, what is your play then?

Fold and you have 400 to his 550, thus losing both chips and money in the long run (answer to the initial question).

Beefy just forgot to add the second fold to his post, so I had to fix it for him (again).

Great to see you around Beefcake!
