Notice the guy in 3rd has &lt; 6 BBs after the BB and is nitty as hell. Hasn't played a hand in 2-3 orbits. Basically, without ridiculous luck he is going out 3rd. Oh, and it should be known that I almost never fold getting 2.2:1 preflop.

looks like a clear fold to the 3-bet.

Not sure. Ape will dwefinitely 3-bet you pretty wide here you`re probably right about it being +cEV at least. I`m not an ICM but I suspect it`s still very -SEV though. Pretty straightforward to do the math and find out what equity you need against his range (I`m obv too lazy right now tho).

His 6x 3bet is so goofy you must have his range obliterated. Any $EV calculations would assume he's calling here, I don't think he is. It's a game of chicken, he repped that he was pot committed (although he wouldn't ever play a good hand this way), you repped that you didn't care that he was pot committed. I like the play.

If he had shoved would you fold? Cause this is the exact same thing.

Re: FT Hand against Apestyles (is this -$ev)
 

I agree. My raise basically is saying my hand sucks but u cant call.

Re: FT Hand against Apestyles (is this -$ev)
 

But if you think your opponent is hip to an inverse relationship of bet size and hand strength you can pull something like this with a big pair to elicit the allin ...

I haven't played sit-n-goes in awhile but given the situation my instincts are that this is terrible.

Whoops lol I said open shove but didnt see how deep you guys were. Still hate this play.
