Re: Fold
 

Easty's toy has the STEP 5 prize structure listed...I'm pretty sure it works for either the 2 tables or 1 tables....but not positive. So, if it's only good for the 2 table STEP 5s then I guess my #s are all worthless...

Maybe...but I managed to use it to come up with the wrong (as in Dali disagrees, [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ) answer!

It's also not really all that cheap....I guess I'm Mr. Moneybags [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

Re: Fold
 

It's not the price that's stopping me, it's that it's not convenient enough. If he had a credit card form right on the website I would have registed by now.

I don't have rakeback. I have Neteller but hate using it, it's such a pain.

It'd be less of a pain if you had ## comin' in every month to it from rakeback!

True.

Re: Fold
 

Before you just factor in the results of this hand, you need to figure out how often the SB and BB will goto war here. Once you come up with an estimate, then compare your EV now, compared to the EV assuming one of those guys busts or is crippled, and the other one doubles up.

Notice you'll gain quite a lot of EV when one of them busts. To completely ignore this from your calculation is very lazy. Note that if the blinds goto war and one of them busts, your EV from this is +200-220, according to eastbay's program. So it's clear we arent "throwing" away 45 dollars, as this will obviously happen sometimes, although how often is hard to say.

Re: Fold
 

curtains makes a good point, and brings up another aspect to look at before pushing. IF the blinds go to war, the equity is around 200 dollars, yes. but thats assuming this happens EVERY time, which it wont. assume it occurs HALF the time, at best, then its worth 100, which makes it better than pushing.

through further analysis, it seems that both push and fold are correct plays. go figure. however, NOT pushing, and letting the small stacks kill each other could be worth more, assuming they go to war more than about 20%, which is POSSIBLE, but not guaranteed, making not pushing possibly more correct. possibly. so it appears that i made the correct play by pushing, but MAYBE there could have been a more correct play. maybe. holla
