Re: Matt Matros article in Cardplayer about coinflips

So lets say it’s the same exact situation except you are in the big blind and it’s folded to the small blind who pushes. You see he has JTs. You have 88. you’re edge is now 50.2% and you’re getting better than 50-50 pot odds ---- do you call now? It is EV+ after all.

Mmm... yeah I think so, tough as it might be at the time to actually pull the trigger.

What’s equity percentage point at which you call vs. fold?

He Who Must Not Be Banned suggests he would take a "true coinflip: "You move all-in blind in the small blind, I call blind in the big blind." At that point it's +EV by a small blind. Again, I say I would and feel it is right. It does take some courage to pull the trigger, but if you don't have that, tournament poker probably isn't for you.
