2) Math doesn't matter? Of course it matters, and the math says to FOLD.

What's most interesting about this hand is that if you feel that Below Riskky and Bax are better players than you, there is an argument that you should call. You're not too big of a dog EV wise and if you have the chance to (basically)knock out 3 top players at your table AND give you a huge stack now at a table of inferior players, that could make the call ++Tourney EV.

3:1 chiplead wasn't enough for the Triple Crown

Also FT'ed both UB 109fo's (both 10th).
