Re: SB push with 53s ... stay with me
[ QUOTE ]
What kind of calling ranges can we assign him such that this push becomes profitable?
(I'm an SNG player by nature, so I'm trying to figure this one out using that approach. I mean, this would be an AUTO-push if we were on the bubble since I have him covered, but I'm unsure if the same applies in this situation. I think I have a lot of fold equity, and even if he calls, I win the hand 2/5 times against two overs.)
[/ QUOTE ] The difference is that an SnG has a flatter pay-out structure. So sometimes it is correct to fold into 3rd place.
In an MTT, it's rarely correct to fold into the money. Plus, here, we are not even close to the bubble. He will have to double up soon. If he doubles up against you, he has a lot more chips than if he folds this and doubles up later.
