Bubble of a FTP Freeroll - When is folding here good?

[MJBuddy]

But you won't get a million if you double up. You'll get 20k.

And in this relative stance, the payout structure is so stiff that he would have to double up *multiple* times to make anymore than 20k.

Folding is always +EV in a tournament if someone is about to be elminated and you are not in danger of the blinds swallowing you.

Calling when you are ahead is taking a coin flip +EV situation, which is always profitable UNLESS you are playing above your bankroll and landing ITM is a signifigant increase to your income.

Like I said, if his bankroll is 200k, [censored] the 9 dollars. If his bankroll is 100 dollars, 9 dollar cashout is signifigant. Yes, even as much as 9 dollars is signifigant to a 100 dollar BR.

I'm not saying his play is bad; he wanted to win and was fine risking the 9 dollars to do it.

You sincerely need to read/review TPFAP, Zatacka.

If you were sure a fold = ITM then just fold. As said before he pretty much would call with anything, you may get something better or may get another HU which wouldn't be bad
