interesting spot.
i think i fold here, even though you probably have live cards and the right odds if the big stack busts the super shorty then you will be on the bubble equal with the other 2.
you also have FE against the other short stacks next round and the big stack 'MAY' fold the worst of his range (bottom 15% maybe)
i think you still have a chance to find better spots.
Nash pushes a bit tighter.. but imo you have to make -$EV calls in this spots because you lose all FE if you fold and you are definately not crushed against both ranges.
you dont necessarily lose FE against the short stacks if the big stack folds pre though. thats what im trying to say.
+ the chances of getting a hand > T5s next round.
+ the chances of a different ss calling and u walking ITM
makes it a fold for me.
im laughing if im the CO in this situation.
I don't see there ever being fold equity again. After this, you pay the small blind, which leaves you a stack of 570 chips. This is just over 1BB, you will never fold anybody with this, and the BB will not have to put anything in to see you.
You can't outfold the CO either. He will still have chips left when you next pay the blinds, which will be all your money.
This game is a write off under most circumstances, so I think going for the odds here is as good as anything.
This looks so ugly. Both folding and calling look so bad! Since there are 2 guys in the pot already I might fold this one and shove any two next hand, with or without action in front.
Im calling here. You cant fold the next hand, and here you lose 1/3 of your stack if you fold. Pushing and winning the next hand doesnt make your stack near confortable, however if we call here and we win we get a decent stack and we can easily exploit the other shortstackers.
Imo this a any2 call spot. You have 20~30% equity here, and if you win you have a 4k stack. If you fold and push the next hand, you will have 50% equity (you in the sb push any2 x BB call any2) or someone pushes first and you have the same 20~30% equity, but if you win this hand you will only gain ~1,5k chips.
This is something like the Gigabet Dilema, you make an -EV call here but if you win you will have plenty more +EV situations.
Tricky spot... but for me I think it's time to ship it in, hopefully have 2 live cards and win back some FE, or insert another coin and reload... Folding here may give you a better spot, or it may not, but I like the fact that they are the same colour if nothing else...
No really, I dont think I fold alot of hands here, I shove something ~80% ish weighted towards suited and connected, for all the reasons above.
Gambol time imo.
