Re: At what point do you stop thinking in terms of chip EV?
[ QUOTE ]
That is, I try to make pure chip EV decisions until half the field is gone, then start giving greater weight to cashing EV considerations

Really?
I think that is much too early and CEV=$EV when 1/2 the field is gone.
How does your thinking change?
Personally I do not think in terms of $EV being different from CEV until every placement pays a different amount.
That is not to say that I do not keep my opponenets thoughts of $EV in mind (i.e. playing too tight on the bubble), but my $CEV=$EV usually until the final table.
Until I am at the final table, I am trying to maximize my stack for the final table, so I am always making decisions based on CEV.
Once the payouts vary per placement, I may make some +$EV decisions that are not necessarily +CEV. (i.e. having the pot equity to get all my chips into a multiway pot, but folding due to multiple short stacks ready to bust not involved in the hand)
Am I incorrect in my thinking?
