Aren"t there ante"s in play at this level?
Yes, why?
...
People talking about a re-shoving stack in terms of 30 bigs. If there are antes then it should be M and I would suspect it would make it easily the right size stack for a reshove. Not that I would in this spot because I don"t think it would give enough fold equity against an utg raise; but the ante"s definitely change the maths and nobody seemed to be taking them in to account.
The antes were 100 and I think we were 9 handed
pot was 4600 When Brian had to make his first action and he has circa 32K behind. By shoving he increases his stack by 15%. I would want a 20% increase before shove usually as you are unlikely to be getting exploited by raise/folding here.
If the UTG raiser has a PFR range of 66+, AT+ and KJ+ and will call a shove with AQ+ and TT+ (This would be considered loose for an APAT event and I would consider most APAT players to have a tighter range than this) then the shove gets through uncalled about 58% of the time. So 58% of the time you just win the 4600 that was in the pot.
If you get called which will happen 42% of the time then

So that mean"s
About 26.4% of the time we lose our stack of 32K and are out
About 15.6% of the time we win the pot of 36600 chips and are massive
About 58% of the time we win 4600
=266800 + 570960 - 844800 = -7040

So against that raising range the shove is marginally -cEV. However for this event I have given our PFR a fairly loose range. There are not a huge number of players who will be opening wider than this on a regular basis from EP. So in MOST spots you should set mine. In this spot? Maybe a shove is not so bad.
We know that UTG has a wider range than the above, or at least he seems too and he is very active from all positions.
He has already gone after our blind with K4o.
Is calling and check folding the flop (which seems to generally be out plan) going to make him want to give up and leave us alone?
If we make a standard 3-bet he is capable of seeing that it is a decent spot to do so and 4-betting light
I am certainly not telling anybody the answer"s on this one to that but this might help the thread. There are some really good responses in the thread but there is a lot more to this hand than people are looking at, it is a really good hand to analyse.
