Re: last 4 in 20k tournament, facing push
[ QUOTE ]
At this stage in the tourney you MUST be thinking about payouts, +EV in chips can very easily be -EV in dollers.

lol, sorry I didn't want to give the impression I was some kind of eccentric millionaire who didn't care about money!
of course I cared about the money, my thinking was:
1. I need a double up, pronto
2. If I call and win, SB is eliminated. I will have 160k and a very good shot at taking the whole thing down.
3. We are so shallow that I genuinely may not find a better spot before my stack is decimated further
4. I believe I am in a 50/50 spot and am thus priced in favourably by my BB.
it's a very interesting spot - razor thin imo. I posted it on my usual poker forum and the responses were divided. The feedback here is also interesting in that no-one has said call yet.
I'm happy to be called a donkey for calling!
