Re: Some $200 sng \"what would you do\" hand quiz\'s
Yugo, I'll attempt to explain what I got out of the post.
The dynamics of this hand are very unique due to the position of Ultra Stack and Hero.
1. What's your objective? Stay alive. By calling instead of pushing, you increase your chances of staying alive (very marginal, btw). For example, SB could push over you, and BB could call his push, then what do you do? Second example: SB completes, and you see a flop. You miss the flop, SB pushes, and BB calls.
2. Assuming you win that hand, and it's still bubble in the followup hand, if you fold, and button pushes, it's now left to stack #2 to make a decision on calling, and is much more likely to call, once again increasing your ability to sneak ITM.
These edges we're talking about here are VERY slim, IMO. But I see Irie's point about it being the difference between a good player and a professional.
