    worse things have happened if you double up the cobra, no worries there, Mhanch has to pick up a monster.

    I was going to say 1200 gets the same info and you can still lay down, but 1200+400+200 plus 2700 from him makes 3/1 back to you if he pushes, which you pretty much have to call.

    So push I say.

    Well apparently, even if the two blinds are so scared of me that they only call with 55+, AJ+, KQ+, this is barely a +$EV play (+0.2% of hte prize pool). Are they really going to be that tight here?

    If they loosen up to 10%, this is a breakeven money play.

    I think the SB is looser than that, but the BB is much tighter, AQ 77 at least. He's already spending the third place money in his mind, worst case.

    Also there is psychological value in showing no fear here which ups the EV a bit in my mind. And god help them if you pick up a real hand next orbit.

    hm ok well that makes sense in mkaing the BB much tighter.
    I think i was still having the BB much too loose. But If i make him "im in the money" tight, then its a push.

    THANK YOU!
    I knew it was an instapush!
