So lets say you have nearly 100% certainty that it's literally a random hand, any two cards, and most likely a 65/35 in your favor.

My question is NOT should I have raised here knowing that blademann was shoving any two cards quite literally, nor is it should I call, because the answer is obviously yes. at 35xBB this is a great opportunity to chip up and be in position to punish the upcoming bubble with a huge stack

My question is...there is a stack size where it's a blad play. If I had 5 million chips behind and he had me covered at these blind levels, this is an easy fold. the risk is just too great. In a very deepstacked NL cash game where you are underrolled this is also probably a fold.

So what do you think is the answer for the "borderline" stack size (in an MTT) here where smaller is a call and bigger is a fold?

It's not as simple as that. I'm playing to win money, not chips. There is a chip stack/tournament where putting the entire stack at risk as a 2-1 favorite while being +cEV, may very well be -$EV. I'm trying to get opinions on where that stack/buyin lies.

It probably has a lot to do you with your roll and risk of ruin as well.

let me guess, you call all-in and he shows some donk hand like J4 or T3 and beats you?
that;s how i run

To sacrifice this big an edge you would need a massively deep stack in a slow structured tournament and be significantly favoured over the field. Certainly much much deeper than this......

Deeper than you will ever realisically find yourself in a tournament.

thats what she said?

I guess that cuts to the core of my question.

Is there no stack reasonably deep enough in a MTT where a hand like this becomes a fold?

To all those saying "easy call". I agree. I think any reasonable player will agree that in this case at this time with this stack it's an easy call. It just got got me thinking there may be a situation where this becomes a fold?

1) Yeah IIRC blinds were just about to go up to 400/800 so I used that in my figures

2) It does help

3) Just for argument's sake lets say you know it's any two

4) I agree that almost nobody can pass up this kind of edge when heads up lets say. But if you are deepstacked in the early/middle stages of a MTT, you can have enough chips that you can win the tourney or go very deep without taking a 30-40% chance of busting out. If you have 100BB here do you <span>have</span> to take such a chance? 200BB? I don't think you do. If I had 100BB, in the middle stages like this, would the 60-70% chance of doubling to 200BB through this guy increase my $EV for the tournament enough to balance the 30-40% chance of making my $EV zero?

Yes and its not close.
