Seriously, if you were the villian, wouldn't you be pushing with a huge range?

uh, you have 16, but everyone else has 8 or less... so it's just as if you had 8bb.

Yes, definitely. It's the bubble, and i have 2x everyone else. And my effective stack is 8xBB. I'm pushing lots of cards.

Dude, you must be putting the villian on one tight ass range when you do the ICM calcs. Seriously, if you were the villian, wouldn't you be pushing with a huge range?

[/ QUOTE ]

I tried tight ranges, loose ranges, random ranges, everything, and I couldn't find a range of hands for villian to have to make this +EV. AK would have to beat the range of hands about 70% of the time for this to be +EV, if I did my ICM calcs right.

I would rather lay this down and try to out play the other two short stacks, than take a coin flip here.

Devil's advocate: I think this is a call.

It appears that against most ranges ICM shows a amall loss of equity. But if you win, you're now the big stack. Which means when YOU open push, it's now incorrect for villains to call without a high pair (or AK, I guess I'm arguing).

This sounds like the Gigabet Theory of Stack sizes post:

Making -EV plays to get into a different stack range. The caveat being that I don't believe he was advocating calls that would bust you out.

they are too stupid to fold AK or 66 correctly which means they call and it hurts you
