blinds 500-1000......I'm sitting 9th in chips ATM:

BB: HERO (2400)
UTG: ........(3500)
UTG+1: .....(4000)

Snap call


You have the best hand, and the AA helps too

If it's Omaha high only, push and pray . . .

You are probably dominating the Button. SB calls for cheap and maybe to get to the $$$. If he loses it does not affect him too badly, so I think you're ahead atm. But, I admittedly suck, so judge accordingly . . .

Break out the ICM calculator!

If you win , your equity goes up about five bucks (10th of fifty bucks.)

Without the payout structure, we can't figure out how much your equity goes down if you lose....

If you don't call you're in 10th, and prob 11th after the next hand. Pretty sure you have to call in this spot

Payout is noted above

Yes, it's PLO, not PLO8

OBV we have AA's here, but against some hands in PLO, you're not much better than a coin flip.

If big stack folds.......it's a snap call. When he calls (which I expect him to 100% with any 4 cards in that spot) it now becomes open for debate whether to call, ship or fold.

I missed that sb call. How many chips does 10th/11th have and when do blinds hit them?

DrTyore

I can't believe the amount of discussion on this one...

You have to put your money in here. You're the second shortest stack at the table, the shortest one is in already. Here's the reasons for calling

A: It doubles the chances of eliminating the shortest stack
B: You have an extremely well coordinated hand that provides three likely ways to win (set, straight, flush possibilities)
C: You're getting nearly 3:1 on your money if you get it all in.

here's the reasons to fold

A: Maybe if I fold I can possibly survive until one of the other big stacks is kind enough to take out the medium sized stacks and I can squeak by that last position - unless the small stack manages to double up on THIS round, then I have to squeak by two positions.

Folding guarantees you become the smallest stack on the table, either you're 10/10, or 11/11 if the micro stack doubles. Oh, and let's not forget folding means you're stuck for another 20% of your stack when it's your SB next.

CALL - there is no debate or question here. edit: Sorry, put yourself all in.

11th was the guy pushing on the button....I ended up calling....which means, even though I was in 9th, the blinds would blind me out before the guy in 10th if we folded out (I don't have his exact chip count, but that would've been my deciding factor).

I'ts what the Doc said.

You probably only have 35-40% equity here so if you were one of the larger stacks and it was folded to you on the button and you raised with this hand and 2 even larger stacks went re-raise/shove in the blinds you could certainly let it go.

Not sure what your plan is here if you fold other than a lot of divine intervention to get one of the tickets, so shrug your shoulders and put in the chips.

T8urmoney

PLO Satty's are like interspecies relationships....you gotta do things you really never thought of doing.

Here's the way I look at it:

To get my ticket, I will

A: have to get extremely lucky (ie. braindead midstack losing his mind and playing a pot against big stack)...this does happen, but rare

B: have to win a minimum 1 more pot (and 1 pot would probably get me there)

Now, if I try to win this particular pot, I have to win a 3-way AIPF.....I don't like those odds.

If I fold to my BB, I give someone else a chance to make an error, or, worst case, I go in against likely a 2 or 3 way pot. Although my odds aren't as good to win a 3-way with any 4 cards as they are with these particular 4 cards.

It's 2 days later, and I'm still second guessing myself on this one.

Stop it.. putting yourself all in was 100% the right move.

I don't care that it was a satellite. You have the SB coming up next, you will potentially be in a blind again in 3 hands. If you think your stack size push of 2x the BB is going to buy you a pot you're wrong. FURTHER, the hand you have gives you a SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING MORE MONEY NOW

I don't care what fucking model people pull out, folding is stupid here.
