    I would call if it was sooooted, but fold this and vomit when the flop is 579.

    Don't really have a good argument but I'd never press the call button with any hand

    Could a ship be worth it?

    lol well folding is terrible, calling is terrible, and shipping is terrible...I think is push is actually +EV :-S as it only need to work 1/3rd of the time to be profitable?

    Im just talking for theory sake now.

    You might be able to shove somewhat wide just because the pot is so big, but I seriously doubt a shove with low connecting cards is good. Theres like a 0.1% chance you get them all the fold

    Hand 0: 79.241% { TT-66 }
    Hand 1: 20.759% { 86o }

    lol If I push and only the hands above call. Its only a -EV push by 1%.

    Can someone else run the math for me? I just wanted to see if maybe I did mine wrong.

    You have to include both their opening ranges AND the range that they call a shove. Since you have to estimate 5 peoples ranges, its fairly tough estimate correctly. You also have to guess overcall ranges (ie: if UTG calls your shove, how will everyone respond?) I don't do the math by hand, I just let Sngwiz do it for me.

    In the end its saying shoving is -820 cEV (based on the ranges I guessed). If you take an edge of 150 chips, it recommends 44+ ATo+ KTs+ QTs+ JTs+ T9s

    I just threw in a random range that seemed likely out of all the hands that would limp then call. Obv there are tons more, I just did it quick.

    Like a donk I called the minraise and folded my gut shot on flop...then punched myself when I turned it lol.

    thanks fjuanl for running that for me.
