Default FT $5.50 - TT vs Mainiac

Mainiac was playing 45% of hands, raising 30%, pushing junk, etc ... He had just lost an all-in with JhTh all in pre-flop ... Is it +$EV to take a shot at doubling up with TT here against his any face card pushes ??? Also, I see people say villian was 40/10/5 ... What's the designation of those 3 numbers (I read the FAQ, but may have missed it, my apologies if I did) ???

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t40/t80
7 players
Converter

Seat 1: Hero (1,380)
Seat 2: BB (3,610)
Seat 3: UTG (1,570)
Seat 5: UTG+1 (1,457)
Seat 6: UTG+2 (2,598)
Seat 8: CO (1,140)
Seat 9: Button (1,745)

Pre-flop: (7 players) Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises all-in t1457</font>, 3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero ???</font>

Assuming top 3 pays I would fold, you will most likely be at 50% to 70% to win this but the chips won't help you that much this early in the tourney.

But I don't know if others would agree.

I don't know what ICM says exactly but I snap call. Your hand is crushing his range.

Here are the numbers I come up with:


fold c.E. = .110

call and win c.E. = .204



TT v top 30% of hands = %64 equity


.64 X .204 = .130



So folding gives you c.E. of .110

and calling gives c.E of .130
