Hi.

Played Sunady Million 9th.

Situation:

8397 ITM, i had 6BB and 8957 players.

UTG1, BB=2500 and pocket eights.

I don't have fold equity with that stack, but is no bad situation as me and i pushed. 2 opponents called: JJ and AK.

Tell me, please, it was EV+ push or no?

any push with 6 BB should be EV+ otherwise you are blinding out

Thanks. Yeas, after that push i understanded what it was easy jam, because:

1) I had dead stack
2) First payjump will stay after 3621 players out and it means what all that players receive identical prices = i won't receive more money even having trebled.

I think if you're the initial aggressor, and you're sitting with an 'M' of 10 or less, then it's a great play.

Seriously? 6 bigs? Is there is such a thing as +/- EV with 6 bigs? Really?

Honestly, people seem to forget that +/- EV is on-paper poker. Anything can look easy/great on paper. In the real world, it's seldom that cut-n-dry. You have to balance this info with a whole host of other factors. EV kind of goes out the window the shorter your stack is.

IMO, +/- EV can be a great way (maybe THE way) to maintain a decent sized stack and make it larger. Under 20 bigs it's just a great way to justify folding down to 6 bigs. :eek:

I think you are unable to see the forest because of the trees here, no offense.
