Re: End game math decision w/T9s 5 handed as big stack
[ QUOTE ]
I cannot explain original raiser not shoving. The hand he had was AJs, so it was a pretty clear push/fold decision. If he had shoved instead of 3bb, should that affect my decision here, or is it still a clear call?
Yes, if I call, I'm getting 4 to 1 on the last of original raisers chips, so a push does make sense, since there's a reasonable chance I've got at least one over.

The raise is just weird - it makes me think that I either have a lot more FE than I ought to or absolutely none at all because he has AA.
It's an ICM problem so you need his range for a shove and SBs range for calling AI, but I think you can call pretty loose because your stack is so deep, you'll still have a decent chip lead if you lose to the larger of the two shorties, and because if you win it's straight to ITM with a very high chance of taking 1st.
