Default Re: Do you like this push? Nearly 550bb pot

Once the BB pushes, we no longer have any fold equity (Duh). Since our hand is such a strong drawing hand, wouldn't it be in our best interest to have the pot 3way if possible? Just as an example, our equity versus both hands is 42.5%, and we only need to be 33.3% in the main pot to breakeven. (The equity in the side pot if we shove and get called is gonna be pretty close to 50% with BTN's calling range of sets, two pairs, overpairs) If we shove and fold out BTN, our equity versus BB is 56.8%, only 6.8% over breakeven. Not to mention that TPTK is around the bottom of BB's shoving range there.

I think that from an equity standpoint it's clear that it's in our best interest to keep BTN in the hand, but just calling and then bricking the turn leaves us in a real weird spot with another buyin behind. I think this hand is a little more interesting than you guys are letting on.
