sng EV vs cash games
This is a question that has been bothering me for a while.
If I'm in a cash game getting 5:1 odds to call an all-in with KK, and my opponent shows me AA, I should call because although I am a 4:1 underdog, it is still a +EV move. However, if I am in the first hand of a SNG and faced with the same situation, is this same situation still +EV? Because four times out of five I will be eliminated/crippled, and the one time I do win I am not guaranteed to go on and win the SNG. Thanks. |

Re: sng EV vs cash games
well.. first hand you will not get 5:1, but if you call with KK against his AA shove (you BB, him SB shoving 0.6% - so AA only) you have -7.14% ev at 10/20 blinds.
with 400/800/50 blinds (giving you roughly 4.3-1) it is still -0.35% ev. If someone limps at 400/800/50 and folds everything except for Aces, it is +0.20% to push your Kings (having 5.3-1) when SB shoves AA and you know it. |
