I am very comfortably rolled for this game. There is no cap.
I see my error quite clearly after all the input.
I think part of it is ego. I meant what I said earlier about not liking losing pots to these guys. Feeling that my game is stronger, so not needing to take flips.
But I guess in cash, in this spot it is totally immaterial. Feeling strongly we have best hand, should snap it off, given stacks and dynamic, reloading when someone binks.
Have to admit its not how I usually go about things, but I think I've blinded myself to how simple this spot should really be.
As many of you have rightly said, if reloading, it shouldnt be an issue. Feel slightly dumb But thanks for the wake up call.
I understand and agree that over time shoving is profitable here. Is there an argument that playing live 'over time' this situation will not come around often enough for variance to even out? Playing online you can play 10 thousands of hands (and since the internet is full of grinders who play like robots) and you will see everything over and over, so going strictly by maths makes sense, but is it really the same live?
i just dont get it (im thick about things like this). ok he is fav to win the hand against any individual player, this has been agreed (i think), but he is still not fav to win the hand against 4 players, so how can this be profitable getting it all in when the chances are your going to lose to SOMEONE. sorry for being dumb here but there must be better spots to get your money in. be kind phil

its called pot odds. He only needs to win 1 time in 5 to make it profitable. Maybe there are better spots, but if this one is good he should take it
its a veryu tricky spot in a tourney for sure gamble with your ak but it depends on your bank roll really but aginst 2 players with ak i would fold aswell aginst 1 player yeah it may be a flip and u might win but aginst 2 players less chance your ak will win so i would fold in this spot
