Look 18 replies up, I already plugged SNGPT. I don't have access to it on public comps though.

What is the breakeven range then, if any 2 calling isnt profitable?

PS- thanks for changing your avatar to something easier on the eyes.

It's profitable if he calls with top 25% or tighter. That's 22+,A2+,KTo+,K8s+,QTs+.

But arnt you likely to be a favourite against an opponent who will call with any 2 cards, plus there is deadmoney in the pot?

Being a favorite is not the point. Understanding this requires understanding ICM and fold equity. Also read posts like this one.

Here you are recommending a tool which would make it unnecessary to post this type of question, yet you are asking the same type of question elsewhere in the thread (i.e. where you are asking if it mathematically unexploitable to push).

Usefull post you linked to, does that also mean inversly that I should be much more inclined to take coin flips once in the final 3 as the jump from 2nd to 1st is much bigger than the jump from 3rd to second?

Thanks for the link splashpot. I've been shouting about prize pool equity and fold equity in many threads lately but I hadn't seen Aleo's post. Good one.
