Default Re: Marginal EV situations for a lot of chips, and some theory discussion

Intuitively, 7BB about to become 5.5 BB’s feels significantly worse than its actual chip value. Especially since I’m going to want to play within the next orbit to avoid going to 4BB. I think you’ve made a significant drop in fold equity if you end up here.

Whereas 55k does not feel an equivalent amount better than 30k, given that there is already a 78k stack, and several 38k stacks. The 38k stacks can still play deep with you and know that they can cripple you if they stack you, so I think you don’t really clear a big plateau in terms of fold equity.
