Re: The flip side of dominating the bubble

However, with 55 left, there's still enough of a diffusion effect so that a 2x average stack isn't worth 2x$EV.

probably not in terms of immediate EV.. but EV isn't linear in any case. Some poeple play worse with a bigger stack, so they are better off grinding up the places, and vice versa.
However, I think that in most pay off cases, the difference is going to be so small that its hardly worth thinking about.
Also something that came to mind... how much *EV* are you blinding off, folding your JJ, in order to make the money? it seems like if you take it to the absolute, you are going to be securing a LOT of medium place finishes, just by trying not to lose a tiny amount of immediate EV.. which really seems counter-intuitive.
It would be correct if the payout was so flat that accumulating chips would not increase your potential payout significantly.. but in most tournaments.. this is not the case.
