Re: Gigabet unplugged: percentage payouts and the value of disparate goals
[ QUOTE ]
The "correctness" of a -EV call is influenced primarily by the following conditions:
1. Calling and winning makes you a big stack
2. Calling and winning eliminates a player close to the money
3. Calling and losing will not eliminate you
4. The blinds are big

Great post Irie.
I have a question though, that I didn't see addressed in your post.
There is no mention in your post on what range of hands would be worth making a -EV call, assuming all the above criteria are met. In other words, what is the worst hand you could conceivably call with in a situation like this? I believe in the original discussion by Gigabet, he called with Q3 offsuit. At what point would a hand be TOO bad to call, even if all the other factors were favorable for making a -EV call?
