I put the math to it and this is what I came up with. I had to do a little guess work here because you didn't mention who had what suits.
AA both not spades 55.37% tie 0.30%
AK. King is a spade. 4.73% tie 0.30%
1010 Neither a spade 8.77% tie 2.39%
66 Neither a spade 17.36% tie 0.12%
710 both spades 11.20% tie 2.39%
Oddly enough you were in second place at that time.
However, ask yourself this. Do you really want to be in a multiway pot with only a pair of 6s?
As far as EV is concerned you are not giving out enough information.
The pot would have to be laying 5.84 to 1 on your chip stack at the minimum. I would need to know your stack size and the size of the pot. It indeed would have to be a big pot. The pot would have to be almost 20500 for you to make the call assuming your stack to be 3500. Just and example. Let's say you have 4000 and the pot was 19k. Then you don't have the odds in that case. If the person going all in was a smaller stack than yours there is no way you could call because at best you odds were less than 5 to 1.
Do you really want to put your whole tournament life on the line for a pair of 66s know that at least one of the hands almost has to be an AA. And there being a good chance that the other is a KK?
You really don't want to play 66 for all your chips in a multiway pot.  |
