I wouldn't do it but would love to see the chat after you take their stacks

I'm nowhere near a poker client lately, so I don't have an idea on field sizes.

I like this a lot though. It may not be necessary in a 20 r/a. Definitely love it in the 3r or 11r.

The field was like 315 people. There were only about 200-220 left a bit before the add-on, from what I remember.

If you like giving away chips this is fine. (thats not to stay i haven't done this). Risk outweighs the Reward etc....

or you can just avoid raising 3x into a 9x stack and a bunch of other shorties by open folding PF.

I don't understand why we are trying to get in with our money behind.

I was curious so I ran the odds on if we are against 4 other ppl in the hand and they have JJ/QQ/KK/AA precisely. We have about 20% chance to win. AA has about a 38% chance to win.

shaundeeb, if you won this hand, you know it's just variance. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

ding someone did some math and it's starting to make more sense the more cards they share the more our EV goes up. This hand is very math heavy I did it quickly at the table and came out roughtly ahead even in some worse case senarios i.e AKhh is out there.

Just about to post the exact same thing Shaun. It's very likely several of these guys are sharing outs, plus the guy that folded, so it's probably higher than 20%. Buuut I still think this is is probably slightly -cEV but if the advantage of getting that big of a stack is worth it for you go for it.

This is an incredibly difficult math problem to actually solve, anyway, because of all the side pots involved.

You need more then 20% equity for this to be profitable.
