Stars Million Final Table steal re-raise
Here's a very questionable steal re-raise from the Sunday PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Million, Big Blind is t400000 (7 handed)
MP2 (t14013050) CO (t10232141) Button (t5969592) SB (t20043463) BB (t5091642) UTG (t6997774) MP1 (t6702338) Preflop: Button is dealt 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t1000000</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t5929592</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 tanks... I think that this play is bad and instafold but a friend thinks that with an M of just over 7 it was right to gamble big time? How do final table gambles get evaluated considering the very top heavy payout structure? Is it correct to be tight with M=7 and move up a couple of spots or should these wild plays be recommended? Do ICM calculations change the way final table hands are played? The initial raiser was raising around 15% of hands pre-flop and assuming he was willing to call with only the top 7% this re-raise looks to be very slightly +EV... the real question is whether marginal +EV plays should be made for all your chips at a final table? |
