Looking for some input from the tournament gurus on this hand. It’s not complicated, but the situation is interesting.
Yesterday’s $165 at Niagara
230 runners, and we’re down to final 5
Approximate remaining payouts: $1500, $2500, $4000, $5000, $7000
We had just had a discussion regarding a 5 way chip chop which was vetoed by seat 1, who was an avg stack at the time, much to the chagrin of the other 4 players. After the discussion, Seat 1 starts jamming almost every pot, scooping the significant blinds and antes, and after a couple of orbits, is now the chipleader.
Blinds:$15k/$30k/30k
Avg stack: 460k (18bb)
Seat 1: 650k UTG (V)
Seat 2: 450k (H)
Seat 3: 350k
Seat 4: 600k SB
Seat 5: 250k BB
Seat 1 open jams again, and I have A5ss in seat 2.
Our goal at this point is to max our EV as much as possible. Considering the pay jumps, stack sizes, position, and table dynamics, is this a foldable hand?
BTW, this is not a results oriented question, as I was 50-50 in the moment, and was unsure what to do in that spit.
I ultimately folded after thinking for a while.
