Top 3 move on, 3rd place goes back to Step 2. Button is pushing a wide range of hands, but I know that I am a better player than he is. Your move?

Please this is so stupid. You are a better player than he is enough so to fold TT when the blinds are ridiculously huge?

Please understand you are not as good as you think and if you think that by folding TT you can outplay him later, you are getting completely and totally outplayed yourself and are actually much weaker than the opponent you mistakenly believe you are better than.

I find it a common problem that people grossly overestimate their own abilities in the most inappropriate situations and thus it leads them to making totally ludicrous plays that inadvertantly make their opponents much better players than them.

How many times have you played in a live tourney and seen some totally hopeless player talk about how they folded because they didn't want a coinflip, when in reality it would have probably been the best possible thing that they could hope for considering their incredible lack of skill.

Basically almost everyone that reads this forum would be best served by always trying to make the correct play. Don't make intentionally overtight folds because you believe you can outplay your opponent later, because most of the time you are misjudging the situaton. I would only do this if the situation was an extremely close call, and I mean extremely close...never in a spot like this where it's unbelievably clear cut.
