Re: Some math that\'s supposed to help me figure out SNGs
All three of you already have $40. What you are playing for now is a prize structure of $60/$20/$0.
The reason you don't take a 24% call now is that you can no matter what you have push the next hand for even more value. And if you call with a 24% hand, you will miss out on that opportunity 76% of the times. So instead of just having two outcomes (calling and winning/calling and losing) there is a third, folding, which means you get to play on.
Might add that I don't use ICM or SNGPT. So I don't think in terms of +1.4% etc. Mostly because I think we are often so poor at guessing the other guys range that the numbers is at best slightly inaccurate.
