O hey there's also overlay from blinds and antes. Push seems pretty standard to me.

Not strong enough to fold TT in your spot unless you *know* the guy's tight.

Pretty strong given reads (TAG) stack (already committed 1/7th) and position.

Lets say you have 15% FE. AQ+ 99+ makes you 46% dog when you are called. Folding leaves 41560 behind.

FE 15 % - 47410 --> 7111
CW 39 % - 107723 --> 42011
CL 46 % - 0 --> busto

I have this as +cEV, but I might be too generous with 15% FE, so let's call it marginal at best. What is average stack?

nh against this villain

[NHFunkii]

standard unless you have reads to the contrary, and him 'not doing anything for a while' doesn't count

I don't have any notes on him here, but I don't respect Villain's game much. Sorry if you post here. good push

[JSchnett]

Easy push, especially agaisnt this opponent if he plays the slightest bit similar in turnies as he does in cash games.

I've never played with him, but I don't either, cause seriously who names themselves 8ivyleague8?
