    Villian is 30/23/10.5, real spewy, 3b/folded to AI4b vs me twice, limp folded once bvb <10bb, and has folded to every 3b.


    Is this standard to get it in or is there any way we can find a fold given icm and these stack sizes?

    Payouts:
    20k up top
    12k
    6500
    5k
    4250

    hero ($793,664)
    BTN ($1200,503)

    Dealt to Hero 8 8

    fold, UTG+1 raises to $237,669 (AI), Hero ?

    seems like a straight forward reshove iso, even if he was playing snug... all the money is at 1st and 2nd so I don't think ICM plays that big of a roll... already guaranteed a few K anyways probably... the jumps arent significant enough to not pass up on a good spot like this where hes prob jamming any pair and a ton of A-X hands that u got like 70% equity against... If someone wakes up behind u, its unfortunate but I think u gotta get ur chips in there for sure.

    hero's got about 30bb tho... this spot would be a bit more complicated I think if hero had like 40 or 45+BB's cuz then its kinda a big iso

    i think a call here is standard you are risking about 1/3 of your stack where i think you are slightly ahead here most of the time, a fold isnt terrible with your stack as it will be a high variance situation calling off 1/3 of your stack with a medium pair and could maybe find a better situation to risk your chips and wait out a couple of the short stacks

    im a gambler at heart but this reads call all over it, if you are worried about those behind, shove over the top?
