SO? its a marginal push at best risking elimination. Taking advantage of a .5% edge isn't really worth it most of the time.

I agree that every +.000001% EV push does not need to be made..... fold and let the others duke it out.

You are already accounting for "risking elimination" by having SNGPT use the ICM to calculate your prize pool equity.

Blah....0.5% is not a small edge and is almost always worth it.

That being said, SNGPT can never be wrong. It's asks you ranges, blinds, stacks, and your hand and pumps out a number based on ICM and payout structures. But, it cannot predict future events, or the accuracy of the information you gave it.

Like Ryan said, there is a lot of money to be gained in a spot like this simply by folding and letting the others go at it. SNGPT does not quantify that.

Also, as pudge alluded to, the BB is going to be on a huge range. My self, I'd be very very wide. Wider than 40% for sure.

Well, you guys are most likely right. I just got SNGPT a few days ago and I'm not an expert in applying it. However I think a fold here is way better than a push.
