The point is not that he doesnT care about $ but that space on his screen and the concentration needed to play another mtt outweigh the icm considerations

Er instamuck surely? Think our 'call to fold to rejam' range is like TT-KK, AK?

Even if he did know it was the bubble, why would he care about a $77 pay jump? I think his jam is absolutely fine

Just eyeballing it I'd say 77+ A9o+ KJs+ KQo

My uneducated opinion would be to bet the flop. Pot control I don't think is a good reason for checking, how many turn cards are at all decent when going super multiway. I'd imagine 65 to raise, 66 to raise pretty likely and we have nfd blockers so we can go 2 way instead of 4 way to a turn alot of the time.

Given how bad shape we can be in, and the fact that when ahead the only really bad turns for us are the ones that make someone else an overboat, OOP I very much prefer taking it slow to start with. Even IP I find it very profitable to slowplay these sorts of boards.

Checking flop is less for balance as our check-continuing range is essentially the same hand but without a 5 - i.e. AA+nfd or 789+fd or thereabouts - and more about inducing semibluffs from hands that might otherwise fold to a c-bet, and pot-control when we're behind which we are more often on a paired board where the cards are next to each other.

With this thinking do we put him on 5 6 then? I suppose if we were heads up we could but 3 handed it kinda means the other guy has called off 2k with a straight on a paired board. Stinker of a spot. If his watch is really nice we could call. Where's Lil D?

We're not putting one opponent on squarely one hand. What we need to remember is that due to card removal there is one 5 and three left in the deck, and two opponents laying claim to some of these cards. What that means is we'll see one guy on 5x and the other on 66, the obvious nightmare scenario where we're dead to running kickers, much more often than we're comfortable with and is a large part of the reason to play for pot control in situations like this. The river is a fairly standard, easy fold, barring good->strong reads on both your opponents.

According to Einstein: "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Turn could be a fold but otherwise looks good to me

I snapfold the river and then tilt my face off when we have the best hand

There's just too much out there that beats you and the river shrug-call feels like 66+ everytime.

Gonna pass on leaving london I think, just moved to my new place in Shoreditch and wanna get settled
