Default Re: Sometimes SNGs aren\'t poker: Open-Folding QQ 3-Handed?

It's a unique situation but he can drain you dry if you keep folding on the button.

Not really. BB is busto in 3 hands

How often is BB busto? Isn't it reasonably possible that the short stack doubles up a couple times giving him more sticking power (perhaps enough so he even has a chance to make the money).

It seems folding endlessly is a mistake since you are significantly reduce your chances of taking first and could fold your way out of second. Sure first is only worth 60% while second is 40% but this makes first worth 50% more than second. If you double through the big stack you have a better chance at taking first (I'm playing so I hope someone else can do the math [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Anyway, QQ seems just too good to give up here.
