Bottom line is that 3 people have shown strength before you and you have the best possible hand that loses value with each opponent that calls you.

Aces gain EV with every call, although you prefer not to have too many callers because variance also increases and high variance is detrimental in tournaments.

In any STT I want to isolate AND get all my chips in if I think there is a decent chance of a caller. Sure, if it's a huge MTT and you have mountains of chips relative to the BB a big (but not all-in)reraise might accomplish the same thing with less risk of everyone folding.

Even if it's an STT, there is no point in overbetting the pot by more than a factor of 3 when you have the current nuts. Even people who will call off 1/10th of their stack with trash will think twice before calling ten times that much and putting themselves all-in.

And if the 20+2 players are that donkish, all the more reason to push.

[/ QUOTE ]

So you would rather they fold than give you half their stack? Even people who will call off half their stack with 56s won't call an all-in with it.

[ QUOTE ]
There aren't much "worse" hands for your opponents than a dominated hand and an underpair.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, but there are many other dominated hands and underpairs that will call a smaller range but not a ridiculous overbet. I've seen smaller reraises called with hands like J3s, even a complete moron generally won't call a push with that. Smarter players will never call that kind of push with KQs, but they will often call a smaller raise. EVERYONE'S calling raise increases with "sane range" vs. "overbet" (though good players are more likely to fold to a miniraise since they will suspect a monster), and ANY HAND THAT CALLS IS GOOD FOR YOU.

I think the consensus is PF push.

[/ QUOTE ]

In the case where it's a sane bet (like the original post), sure. If the stacks are 1500 and the pfr is only 150, that's just ridiculous.
