nath, shouldn't we factor in our expectation vs. the field, dictating that in Azaria's instance this is an automatic call because he has a negative expecation vs the field?

To simplify, let's assume heads-up play and we're a very good player facing a poor player where the good player has a 60% likelihood of winning each hand. Why in a +ev situation with qq vs ak would we call knowing that every other hand we have far superior expectation of winning?

Because in reality people don't have edges this big, and one major mistake many weak-tight players make in tournaments is overestimating their advantage vs. the field and passing on profitable situations as a result.

In this instance he was getting around 4.9:1, so it wasn't close.

This thread is great! The trolling, the comedy, the know-it-all jackasses... and then the pwnage.

If anyone would like to post the chipstacks of all remaining players at the time as a comma-separated vector, and the payouts in that same format, I can run the ICM on it. Not like that would convince anyone. The result would still be, no, you can't lay down KK getting almost 5:1 ever. I'd just get even more crap responses about how you have to forget about all your fancy-pants analysis and play the game the correct way, where you lay down the red aces getting 10:1 because you know your opponent has the other two aces, and spades have been hitting on the flop all night.

slim brings up a good point; how hot had kings been at the table prior to this hand?

IF YOU'RE GETTING 4:1 ODDS ON YOUR MONEY, AND YOU'RE 21% TO WIN, YOU HAVE A POSITIVE EXPECTATION IF YOU CALL. YOU HAVE A ZERO EXPECTATION IF YOU FOLD. POSITIVE IS GREATER THAN ZERO.

Because of the action, you can probably kill an ace or two, or whatever.
