Re: Knowingly Taking the Worst of it
[ QUOTE ]
but if you are making a bad decision here, what is going to stop you from making bad decisions with your bigger stack?

this is, of course, the key. if you are consistently making bad decisions then there is no point in gambling for more chips. notice nowhere did I say that taking -ev gambles should always be done, i didnt even say it should ever be done. i just pondered the possible implications. you are right that many times my aggresive advice is misinterpreted by people on this board, and used to justify bad gambles. however, the misaplication of concepts is not the same as giving bad advice. I gave no advice in my original post, just pondered the possible implications of a fact that i know to be true, namely that laying down the best hand is much worse in a tourney than a cash game.
