Message: [QUOTE="blankoblanco, post: 1104157, member: 11119"] yeah, i wasn't gonna say anything, but his play definitely has merit. obviously it depends on the raiser and the caller, vs. the wrong players it's bad, but i don't think you can act like it's just a hopeless play in general the fact is he's only shoving about 14 BBs. but since it crosses the 100k threshold and it's that late stage of a big tournament, i think a lot of players are calling the shove much much tighter than they should be he actually needs both players to fold a really small % of the time for it to be +EV. when you do both fold he picks up ~56,000 chips! that's a 50% increase to his stack. even when he gets called by one hand it will be by AK or AQ enough that his equity % is probably in the 30s against their calling range. he doesn't rate to get called in two spots often at all, although when he does i guess they can both have AK like you guys did :) gg and congrats on the solid cash btw monoxide [/QUOTE]
