Final Pot: t6560

Villain has been raising a lot since he became bigstack,but this was the first time i actually saw him pushin.i haven't been playing a lot of sng's lately,but i'm pretty confident that this is a fold,given the stack size of the sb and my own pretty healthy stack.agree?

[J-P]

Yeah you gotta let this go because of how short SB is.

ok thx^^.i wasn't paying much attention and actually watched some tv since it was only a 6.50$ sng,and i just saw him pushing and did not think about it for one second.afterwards i realised how dumb that call was and just wanted someone to tell me that it was dumb [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Ok, you got it... you're an idiot.

I made a call like this once and got berated by a regular (hobiejuan1 on FTP). After that I always make this fold. Even if you're a 3-1 fav, it's not worth it. Losing is [censored] when there is a 4.5BB shorty.

If you run this through ICM with, say, a 25% range for the villian, what do you get as a profitable calling range? I get the SB is hoping someone dies off, but I'm suprised this would be a bad call.

Calling with AKo here is -3.4%. ICM suggests KK+ to call here but I'm not folding QQ in game and prolly calling JJ too even though I know its bad.

Wow. I was going to run this when I got home, but damn! Continues to show me what suprises lurk in the world of ICM...which I suppose is good in that it helps point out where I'm leaking [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
