i should add i need ~45% for it to be +cEV. is it worth giving up some edge cEV wise because the payout structure is so top heavy? if so, how much?

My first thoughts are that you are slightly behind is range with only marginal overlay, and that you have no FE.

Is this one of those leveling things that are so popular these days?

lol I was just pointing out that it sucks to play a marginal hand when someone has already shoved because you know the only way to win the pot is to win the showdown

Also what must be taken into consideration is the chance that one of the blinds pick up a hand behind us. Although it might be slim, it is existant, and does effect the EV of an already marginal situation.

Pretty wide if his bankroll is healthy. If i'm playing to cash it's a different story akbout my range.. in the million will that matter? Stakes are way outta may range but if I play it like a 10/180...

Now that I've hedged... AJ+ 66+...maybe KQs... if I'm him my M = 5 and i'm in the HJ...and I'm getting frisky. If it's me playing add in any Ax... and any two paint now that I think about it.

I was talking to chewy about this.

Against a smart thinking pro, you can call their 10 BB shoves with a huge range and 77 is crushing them.

However, vs an unknown deep in the million who is going to be very risk averse, this is a fold IMO.

When non professional players get deep with a shot at way more money than their used to, you can be sure of 2 things:
A. They won't resteal on you.
B. They will open shove way to tight.
