Question

100 NL 6 max

Hero is UTG +1 with about 100

UTG folds
Hero limps
CO is 20+ PFR and makes it $3 which is the usual
Button calls
BB calls
Hero all in

How many times does everyone have to fold to make this +EV.

it depends heavily on your hand and villain's raising range.

or are you assuming if you get called, you'll put yourself at automatic 4 to 1 dog?

Well there's $9.50 in the pot (SB is there too) but hasn't called yet?

So you have 4 people who are left in the pot.
Assuming they will call with TT-AA only, rough calculations say that one of them will have this hand 1/11 times.

So if it works 10x you're +30$.. What kind of hand range are you doing this with?

No the small blind folded out. There's three hands that have an opportunity to call. As both of the players that acted after the 3 dollars smooth called, i figured I was ahead enough, and would win from behind a small percentage of the time. This seemed correct. Anythoughts on just taking the nine dollar profit rather than playing AK against a field. A smaller raise might have narrowed the field but then you're playing AKo with a big pot and thats no fun is it.
