Here's an interesting question. 4 players left in a 50+5 SNG tourney. You have 5600 in chips with blinds 300-600. You are in the BB (now you have 5000K) with 8 3 off suite. UTG goes all in for 1200 Button folds and SB folds. There is now 2100 in the pot (600BB+300SB+1200allin) and it costs you 600 to call so you are getting 3-1 to call with a dominante chip stack. Now this is in my estimation an easy call as you are probably a 2-1 dog with two live cards. My question is Given the same situation if you had 2600 (2000 with the blind) in chips and now calling is risking a 1/3 of your stack is it still the right move? what if you had 1600 (now 1000 less the blind) its risking half of your stack? Just a question i pose. While im not a math junky i pose that in the first situation it is an easy yes in the second it is a marginal but leaning toward yes in the latter it is now given you are not in the money and lossing bascially kills your EV for the tourney. Love to hear a math junkies take on this.
