I've been really thinking about Giga's post as well recently. At first I was a bit sceptical about how I could use this in my game, but then I realized it was a pretty obvious extention of something people do all the time.

People make -cEV pushes all the time, pushes that are -$EV under the standard models, but are +$EV in the real world. Sure maybe its becasue its the better of 2 bad alternatives, but anytime people are pushing "any two" it is usually a -EV play. If we can make -EV pushes as a shortstack, why is it so hard to believe that -EV calls (by ICM or whatever) might be worth making on occasion. The trick is identifying those opportunities to gamble.
