PokerStars - $1.32+$0.18|200/400 Ante 25 NL - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (BB): 3,134
UTG: 2,996
CO: 4,385
BTN: 1,030
SB: 1,955 (VPIP: 17.89, PFR: 11.11, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 101)

5 players post ante of 25, SB posts SB 200, Hero posts BB 400

Pre Flop: (pot: 725) Hero has K♣ J♦

fold, fold, fold, SB raises to 1,930 and is all-in, Hero calls 1,530

Flop: (3,985, 2 players) 7♠ 5♠ A♠

Turn: (3,985, 2 players) 4♣

River: (3,985, 2 players) A♥

Spoiler

SB shows J♥ A♦ (Three of a Kind, Aces) (Pre 75%, Flop 96%, Turn 100%)
Hero shows K♣ J♦ (One Pair, Aces) (Pre 25%, Flop 4%, Turn 0%)
SB wins 3,985

I looked this one up on the online holdemresources.com nash calculator and it showed a shoving range of 60% for the SB which would make this a good call as I have around 55% equity vs. that range. But this player seemed to be playing tighter and I'm just trying to get a handle on the thought process behind making these calls with 5-6 players remaining in a SnG 9-man.

I guess my question is if this is a +$EV call in the long run and where I can find a calculator that takes into account a correct ICM call in these type of situations, not just a +cEV call. Thank you!

Hi all,

With a program like SNGWizard we could put in this situation and find out at what point our call becomes 0$EV. With that information we could see what our opponent needs to be pushing (at the minimum) for us to call here. Unfortunately all the programs that allow this function as far as I know cost money.

All of them are dealing with $EV as a default.
