Odd four handed spot in 45 man donk and go

[thetank]

Hardcore would be to raise and then call the push with 22+, A2+, K2, Q6+, Q3s+, J8+, J6s+, T9, T7s+, 98s

If big stack is coming over us 100% of the time, then all these hands will be +cEV
They will all be ahead of the re-raisers two random cards.

Might even add Q5o in there, if we call him with Q5o and it's a spilt-pot, we can safely say his range for pushing over us might tighten a little next round.

FWIW I had and snap called, he obv had the boots  gg me. I'm not a winning stt player and decided to sharkscope him afterwards as he seemed to use a bigstack well and i thought his massive overbet with AA was v.clever and he w :Pas -40% abi $6, so that was another misread

AKs is only just outside the +EV range that WIZ gives by a tiny whisker. I wouldn't beat yourself up about it.

The maths can't be done at the table while you're playing, instead we rely on feel and practise, repetion, etc.
Your feel for this situation being marginal with AKs (hence worthy of posting) suggests that you may be a better player than you think.

I play to win tournaments at the final table and makes plays based on +cEV rather than +$EV, because maybe playing to win is +$EV in itself

please remind me incase you post asking for staking to say no!!

He could always be bubble bullying with not much here.

I'm calling here with Tens+ and AK

I'd still open with 77s to 99s and AQ....
