Re: Giving up pot odds to preserve FE
ICM numbers are 16.61% for fold, 18.29% for call.
The question is how severely fold equity affects that. I think it's a significant effect, but not nearly that much. One problem is that the guys you want to be stealing off are pretty short stacked and you have the big stack breathing down your neck on the other side. Fold equity isn't going to be as useful as in some other situations. I'd rather get a big stack so the guy to my right has to back off a little. My style is to avoid calling with semistrong hands in these situations, but I think this one has to be a call.
