FAO of Ozzie08, is this a good value shove?

    I spose it's ok assuming you have reads that the blinds are tight and wont cold call light. 

    You're probably one of the few that can get away with this move on the site with your image, so I think with the added 120 chips from the blinds you have enough equity v his range to profitably make the shove.

    That is of course as long as you're sure the blinds have fold buttons.

    no one asked about history yet?

    or reads on the villain?

    I thought both meant i was clearly ahead of his range.. comments?

    You're obv behind his range, that's a ridic comment.

    But it's for his tourny life, a chance to eliminate a dangerous villain from the tournament and increase your equity at the table and in the tourny itself.

    With the added value of the blinds, I think it makes the price to isolate more appealling....

    It's obv not a correct mathamatical call, but it's close enough and increases your equity in the tournament if you win.

    You have to gamble at some point to win tournys, this is a more calculated risk and well worth it, imo.

    But Ima tourny donk.

    I doubt winning that pot will increase his equity in tournament very much

    I assume villains range is super wide, so prob not that bad getting it in with him (doubt its correct though), but theres always the danger of a big stack behind you waking up with a hand or being a fish, so you risk much more than you gain imo.

    Obv its cool for style points, other players will adjust after seeing this, not sure how good this will be for you though, you prob get more walks, but might get your raises played back at or called lighter
