i wouldn't call with a gun to my head. you certainly have the time, chips (in relation to other bubblers), and soon...position - to do your own share of blind raping. [/ QUOTE ] I would fold with out thinking much about it. Positon, blinds, chips, position... not worth the toss up. |

I take it this is a 2+2'er? I call, and I don't think it's that close, even though I grit my teeth when I do. [/ QUOTE ] This is a leak for me then. I hate calling here with 55, nevertheless 22. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |

Re: flipping coins in a $33
Bryan, very very easy fold. Don't think about it, move on. Don't deliberate, move on. Don't let all these punks convince that your read is good so call, because it doesn't matter.
In fact, the above comment reminds me a ton of the fishy players thought process. "I think you're bluffing, so I call." And obviously with no regard to their cards. Anyway, fold. Feel good about it. Scuba 95% its a coinflip 5% you're completely dominated |

Re: flipping coins in a $33
Guys,
If villain is indeed pushing with any two, it is –200 EV to fold, and +130 EV to call. Calling EV calculation: Opponent has two pair, you win 0.059(0.18)955=+10 Opponent has non-pair with a 2, you win 0.08(0.75)955=+57 Opponent has any non-pair and does not hold a 2, you win 0.861(0.55)955=+452 Opponent has two pair, you lose 0.059(0.82)855=-41 Opponent has non-pair with a 2, you lose 0.08(0.25)855=-17 Opponent has any non-pair and does not hold a 2, you lose 0.861(0.45)855=-331 Total EV = 10+57+452-41-17-331 = +130 This is a +330 chip EV difference. If you fold your stack will be 5x the size of the big blind and you will be pushing your stack into situations that have significantly less EV. I don’t know about you guys, but if my stack is 5x the big blind and we are not right on the edge of the bubble, I will put my stack at risk in situations that I assess to have basically a break even EV in order to keep my stack large enough for folding equity. In this context, the +330 EV is difficult to pass up. The downside is that you have to go into a coinflip situation to see this EV. This is a large negative and it is difficult to quantify how this negative trades off with the +330 chip EV you would be passing up. But there are 5 people remaining so you are not right on the edge of the bubble, and if you lose the coinflip you still are alive with a smaller number of chips. Given these things you can still argue either way, but in my opinion it is a very close decision with calling the better choice of the two. +330 EV difference is difficult to pass up when your stack size is 1300 and you are not right on the edge of the bubble. I’d be interested to see what Eastbay’s program says the right choice is. Doesn’t his program attempt to actually quantify this “judgement” tradeoff we are making between chip EV and minimizing risk? The only thing I strongly disagree with what has been said so far is if people who are saying it is an easy fold or an easy call, because it seems like a pretty borderline situation to me. |

Not for me, thanks. Fold.

Re: flipping coins in a $33
Now, I'll be the first to admit that I should be asleep in bed rather than sitting in my chair playing with Eastbay's tool, but assuming I plugged things in correctly calling is +1.9% $EV against any two. Do you really think I can do better than that in the next few hands with my ~5BB stack?
I suppose we can also debate how important an accurate read is here, but dammit man, I can see into my opponents' souls. |

[/ QUOTE ] Let's look at your style of play, and compare it to another similar example. If you had A8s, and you assumed villain was on a loose push range (22+,A2+,any two broadway) this is also exactly a 1.9% +$EV to call. Do you call here? |
