Default Re: Theoretical problem about coinflips

1) You have the pusher well covered. As an extreme, say you're 5 way and he has one chip. Or you have 7k and four people have t250 and one pushes. In these cases you benefit from busting a guy and really can't hurt your stack. I'm not going to sit on the ICM calculator but I think most people in the forum would make that call.

It's extremely close, but ICM calc disagrees if blind sizes are negligible. At least as far as I have checked. That said, I too make these calls all the time, though I think it's just because usually the blinds really matter.

2) You're down to 2 players. Kind of a trivial example but hey, it works.

I suppose when down to 2, blind sizes can never really be negligible, so you are right

I guess I am thinking more about situations with 4+ players, (and maybe with 3, though I am less sure about that)
