Re: Some math that\'s supposed to help me figure out SNGs

According to ICM, it's not that folding is an option - it's that calling ISN'T an option.
Which is what I'm trying to figure out. If you need 3 3rd place finishes to make up for one heads up finish, you'd be willing to call with a hand that's a 3-1 dog, because you're getting an overlay.

But why would you call with a hand thats 3-1 dog when you the next hand, no matter what cards you have, will have a more +EV situation?
Are you working against a time limit here?
Are you really aiming for a finish distribution where you have twice as many 3rds as 1st and 2nds?
I might add that I have gotten much more patient when ITM and HU lately. I have learned to fold hands I might have called with/pushed in the past. And my 1sts have gone up. Of course I still play aggressive but not uncontrolled.
