Can we, and/or should we also be considering if this is your regular level of tournament.

I think I know the standard answer is if we are usually microstakes, then we don't have a skill edge, therefore the shove becomes a better play. But I actually believe there is some EV, in just going deeper in a tournament, and getting to play it for longer, personally I think we can occasionally give up a little EV for this purpose. Especially when its not entirely wrong.

1 phrase I always quote from a Dara O Kearney book is 'losing hurts way more than winning feels good' Basically its a kind of reminder to try and avoid putting your tourney life at risk if you can.

So, can we consider calling, and getting away from this hand if an A or K comes on the flop?

Also surely the solver is expecting some folds to the shove which is why it thinks its profitable to shove. I just think the population of most games rarely cold 4 bets with a hand that wouldn't call, like maybe AKo might do, but really do many people do that with AQs/o. I just don't think they do, and furthermore I tend to think this is where solvers become slightly inaccurate, not is the actual output, but in their asumptions.

I think there's a chance that calling can be an exploit, due to population tendancies not to fold many hands they are cold 4 betting with.

I could be way off here, and I don't regularly play $30 games. I'd be very interested to hear what the more solver savvy guys think of my thoughts.
