Re: Missing the flop

I can certainly see this logic in tournament play, but I am still too dense to follow how it applies to a cash game. Thank you for explaining.

You're correct in bringing up tournament play, because it applies more so there, but it appears, from my observation of small stakes, that playing for your stack still has psychological ramifications that force some players to let go of marginal hands.
Perhaps this will make more sense. If I'm sitting at a 100NL table and I drop to $40, why am I not re-buying?
A) I am not a good player and I only want to lose $100
B) I'm a decent player, and I have buy-in limits for the day.
I just don't see enough good players staying at a table below 50% of the buy-in. Does this make more sense? Not to say that it doesn't ever happen, but A & B are the more likely scenarios in my book.
