Re: Slightly -cEV move to become chip leader. $4 + .40 180sng stars
OK I see where you are coming from sherman but in this particular case the move is both -$EV and -cEV.
You can't ignore the terrible pre-flop play, because this shows that the OP isn't very good, so the utility of a big stack goes way down. In fact, if he's making bad "steal" plays like this with his stack, I'd say if he gets a big stack he's going to piss it all away pretty quickly trying to bully.
Secondly, I think you need to fold to the re-raise pre-flop. If were all in, we'd have the odds to call, but the chance of flopping a hand good enough to continue with is about 1 in 20, and we dont have the implied odds for that, not even close. So even if we "outplay" the other guy on the flop - which is extremely difficult with his tight range, we have a lot of equity to make up.
So yeah, I think its just bad on every street.
