Default Re: MATH: 45 extra chips to start 800-chip tourney adds >5% to ROI

You probably realize this but I thought it was worth adding that the reason math isn't enough to maximize expectation is because your opponents don't play anywhere near optimally. Instinct/experience is helpful at exploiting these players while a purely mathematical strategy would still beat them, just not for as much.
