Ace-king in Bubble (3rd in chips)

[wiggs73]

Icewizard,

You should really buy an ICM tool or learn how to do the equations by hand. This push is +EV no matter what range the BB calls with. If he calls 100% of the time, it's +.6%. If he calls 1% of the time, it's +3.4%. It's +EV with everything in between as well. Considering this, the hand doesn't merit much discussion.

The only possible point worth considering when dealing with unexploitable pushes is whether possible future equity gained by a short stack busting outweighs the immediate equity you gain by shoving. Being that even when BB calls 100% of the time, you gain quite a lot of equity, this is almost surely not the case here. Also note how close the 3 short stacks are in terms of stack size. If the short stack doubles once, he's the new second stack. This is by no means a scenario where you can assume someone besides yourself will bust soon.

I'm locking the thread since this is simply a must-make push. Try not to be results oriented when the BB calls with TJs and busts you. That doesn't make it a bad push.
