Hey guys,
A) I was wondering if you use pot odds in tournament situations.
B) If you do, do you call in situations where you have just enough outs to have a minor +EV call? I would assume it's a bad idea (imagine you call an all-in and have only 3% +EV, is it unwise to call since despite the +EV you risk busting out?)
Or is it okay to call with marginal EV as long as you have enough outs to hit your hand a large percent of the time?
C) Is there some kind of formula for stack size vs opponent's bet size and how many outs you need to comfortably call in that situation? (because if you for example call an all-in for half your stack without only 5 outs or something, even if your call were hypothetically EV+ you'd more than likely bust out making that call twice given how small your % chance of hitting an out is)
