Ok, setting is - Live cash game in local casino, playing 9 ring and it is about 3.30am, the game has been running since about 8pm and there is quite a lot of money on the table. I am sitting with £200 and everybody on the table has me covered apart from the c/o who has about £60. I have only been playing for about 2/3 orbits but most of the players have shown a willingness to gamble big as the hand in questions shows. The game has had a straddle at all times and occasionally a double straddle when the next hand arose. Hero started session with £200 quickly getting to £300 before losing a third of his stack after raising a straddle with  two barrelling and then giving up on the river showing down Ace High, apart from that has been pretty nitty due to table circumstances.

sb -      £400+
bb-       £400+
utg+1   £300-£350   Straddle to £4
utg+2   £500+         Straddle to £8
mp1     £700+         Straddle to £16
mp2     £700+         Straddle to £32
hero    £200               ?
c/o      £60
btn      £250

There is £63 in the pot and  is our hand, what are we doing with it and what hands are we shoving?

Obviously shipping, it is always going to be +ev. 

We effectively have 5bbs here, so I am shoving at least top 25-30%.

Just to add this is a one off. First time it had happened on the table and once the guys who have straddled to 16/32 and lost the money realise its -ev it will soon stop.

Much wider than this, folding hands like 55 and KQs is burning money.

Just think of it like a donkament spot and what hands you would be shoving utg with 5bbs.

think it's better value to be as shallow as possible while everyone is shovelling money in blind.

It's better value to be sat with 1BB but volume x edge = profit.

This was the first time it had been so crazy, but obviously the players wern't nitting about. I had just got to the table about an hour before and just standardly (is that even a word) sat with 100bbs.

I agree I should of topped up.
