Default Re: Take the coin flip or fold here?

No one in the world is good enough to pass up this kind of +cEV spot with stacks this shallow, you don't have any choice. You're risking 30k to win at least 81.5k in a coinflip, the cEV of this play is over a third of your stack. You'll never find a better spot to get your money in, especially in PLO. Even aside from this, all of the other factors are in favor of gambling for chips now anyway. The bubble just broke, so there's no real extra money to be made in the next few spots, the FT bubble is soon approaching, so you'd love to have a big stack to abuse people with. FWIW, I'd probably take a cEV neutral gamble in this spot because of those factors, so I'd definitely take this one.

edit: just saw the hand...ok so I went from shoving to turbo-insta shoving, you're never in bad shape here.
