4 players left in a sit and go. Try to compose a situation in which you think the EV between folding and calling for all your money is exactly the same. Try to get as close as possible. Have fun!

Stacks are 3333, 3333, 3333, and you have 1 chip UTG. Your EV must be fairly close to zero whatever you do I'd imagine. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Not if UTG pushes and sb calls.

Calling here is terrible.

4 players left in a SNG, compose a situation where, if a poll were taken of all the members of this forum, exactly 50% would say call and 50% would say fold.

Stacks are all even, but you have a couple chips less than others. Blind is over half your stack. You get AA on BB and everyone goes all in in front of you. If you fold you will have about a 10% chance at first and be guaranteed 2nd. If you push, you get first about 70% of the time, and 4th the other 30...

So:

Call = 50*.7 + 0*.3 = 35
Fold = 50*.1 + 30 = 35

Thats as close as I can get

Both pretty close to 0, yes. But that doesn't mean one choice can't be twice as good as the other. I bet folding is higher EV on the chance that one of them goes bust (AA vs KK, misclick, etc.)
