This was in a 2.20 triple shootout to the sunday million. 1st and 2nd get a ticket, 3rd gets thier money back. Usually i would be snap calling here, but becuase of the huge difference in 3rd and 2nd, is it right to fold here?

Never folding bro. Ahead of his shove range. Cant really pass up this spot.

With the flat payout structure of a satty you don't need to accumulate all the chips and could fold this spot. Yes you are ahead of his range but that isn't the only consideration when playing a satellite. You want to be shoving and rarely calling shoves…$2 to $215 is a big pay jump and should enter into the decision.
In this spot I fold.

perfect spot to use an ICM calculator. These are the nash shove ranges and nash calling ranges as a resul of the shoves. looks to me that if button is shoving correctly, then we should be calling, as it reccomends JJ+, AKo. What is interesting is that nash does not like lower pairs here.
now, using pokerstove, we have 66.2% equity against this shoving range with AKo
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 33.797% 30.99% 02.81% 1751000448 158751456.00 { 99+, A2s+, K3s+, Q9s+, J9s+, A7o+, A5o-A2o, KTo+, QTo+, JTo }
Hand 1: 66.203% 63.39% 02.81% 3582099840 158751456.00 { AKo }
what i am going to do now is just add a bit more and a bit less in terms of the range and see what happens. i am doing this to see what happens if we move away from the equillibrium.
adding all pairs, A6o, K8o+, 89s+, gives basically the same equity. against a completely random hand we have 65% equity, so we cant get exploited by them shoving wide on us.
if villain is shoving super tight then it is probably correct to fold -
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 42.584% 36.05% 06.53% 600014928 108730782.00 { 99+, A9s+, KQs, ATo+ }
Hand 1: 57.416% 50.88% 06.53% 846882996 108730782.00 { AKo }
cliffs: assuming villain is shoving more than 7% of the time, which i think is obvious, this is a pretty clear call.

Our range here is obv significantly tighter than normal but it's a pretty easy call IMO. Villain is snap shoving any Ax and Kx and is obv much wider. Before I read Benny's post I thought that AQo and maybe 99 is bottom of my range for calling here. Turns out its a bit tighter than that with JJ and AKo. Can't imagine folding.

Man, I can't imagine folding here with the stacks the way they are. If the bb was super short then yes this would be a pretty easy fold but based on stacks I'm calling here and winning the 70/30.

As it is, you have a little better than 2/3 chance of winning a ticket.
benny did the calc's and it came out that you're pretty much exactly a 2:1 favorite against his range.
That makes it almost exactly break even money-wise, in which case I'm folding.

fair point there, i think its the bottom of calling range or the top of our folding range, if villain can shove even remotely wide i still like calling though

I'm having a bit of a formatting issue on this page and can't read the end of peoples sentences.
Benny says you have something like 62% against his likely shoving range (I think). OK, so if you make the call then 62% of the time you win the seat and 38% you are down to 3bbs. I'm not sure how to work out your equity from 3bbs there but I'd guess you still have 10% chance of getting a seat. So overall equity when calling is 62 + 0.1*38 = about 66%.
If you fold then you have a marginal cl and so your equity for getting a seat is going to be slightly more than 67% esp if you think you have an edge. So it is really close and will depend a lot on what range you give the villain here, but from the range put into the cruncher this is a marginal fold spot.
