“I’m crushed with 77+, A7, A9, AJ, JT (12 hands)”
How did you get only 12 hands here? I am confused…
Seems like a lot more than 12?
The only hands you are ahead of the total draw hands really, unless he gets scrappy with 78 or 76…but AI without a draw even here seems off. Id put him on at least a draw even if he has a pair that you beat. And there are a ton of draw hands that you are not even a favorite against. You need to be ahead 30% here (and this is not taking into account ICM considerations). I think a lot depends on how the other stacks at other table are looking. This spot is a gamble. Which is fine…but is the bubble? Or is it close to bubble? Or what? I feel like I am missing something?

I do believe it's a fold. however, I want to fully understand the math behind it. when you're calculating hands is it every combination of A9s for example? how would you count the hands up? I also agree that if i'm ahead it's marginal with the type of draws he shoves here. how would you calculate the 30% ahead? I'm a guppy and appreciate the anaylisis. thank you.
One more player busts, we're at the final table.

Yes you have to take the weighted average of your equity against his range. So basically you put him on a range, determine what % of his range each hand represents, determine how much equity you have against that hand, multiply, then add that altogether to get your total equity. The over-the-table way to do it is just to see that you are a lot further behind the hands that beat you than you are ahead of the hands you're beating, and there are a lot more of the former, so it's probably a fold. In fact I'd fold to the SB bet the first time around. Just because you've seen him stab a few times doesn't mean he is bluffing 100% of his air, not to mention that even a lot of air will have good equtiy against you on the flop and there are still people to act behind you.

Thanks for the response Andrew. I will practice the math off the table. I've recently discovered your podcast and listen on my commute everyday. It's funny, I was thinking if you and Nate were reviewing the hand, you would point out the first mistake calling light with many players behind, completely agree.
