Default Re: Two short stack felting decisions from $50r

aplunk,

the difference betweeen cEV and $EV is negligible at this point - we're nowhere near the money yet. The chips you win here are worth _more_ than the chips you lose - they'll give you FE back, which is of course critical. The math error is trivial enough that the effect is close to negligible as well, max 1%.

I'm with mastr that you need a good read that villain will push wide in order to make the call though. If you do, I don't really see a problem in calling and gambling to get a stack again, even if it's slightly -EV. Either way, it's close enough that it's not a big error, and the expected future gain (with having FE again) makes it a call I don't think is bad.
