(2-way) bubble calling situation

[HedCec]

no, i made an excel sheet, not a program ... and no it's not revolutionary ... and no i'm not killing anywhere ...

The point is that the math is simple. If you are only calling with your top 20% here, you are loosing to those who are calling with their top 48% ...

Generally tight calling ranges are correct on the bubble, but in this case your current EV is roughly only 1/3 of 2nd price + 3rd price, and you stand to quadrouple (almost) your stack if you make the call. This is what makes this discussion interesting, because contrary to the general rule, you actually should call loosely in this spot.

But if you prefer a tighter calling range, that's fine with me, and I'll love playing you in this spot.
