Geez doesnt anyone here have SNGPT?

Against a typical range by a good player who will raise on the button with a minimum of all the hands they should raise with, this is a relatively simple call. Being that the buyin is $500, its a lot more likely they will be raising with the range of hands that we need to make this +EV.

For instance against the following range, which is tighter than almost anyone at the $500s would be:

22+,A2s+,A3o+,KTs+,KJo+,QJs

it's +.2 EV to call. The looser the range gets, the more +EV it is to call. Why there are 5 pages of responses without one single person attempting to plug the numbers into SNGPT, I have no idea.

Folding isn't "terrible" however, as the EV difference is at least relatively close, but I sure wouldn't fold...

I am still new to ICM theory, but have a question about your selection of hand ranges. I notice for unsuited aces you have A3 or better as the range. My gut would say anyone who pushes A3 would push A2.

Any specific reason to exclude A2?

Thanks,
