Default Re: The point

I'd take that 3% difference seriously.

Pushing is a make-or-break moment for the entire tournament. Let's say for argument's sake that you play this situation 30 times and the difference between pushing with 88 and 22 matters only once. That's still enough to change your ROI meaningfully. It's conceptually the same as a 3% difference in rake.

Do we exaggerate the difference in our minds? Maybe. Should we ignore it? No.

Again, missing the point. Yes, there is a difference. Yes, 3% is not 0%. But is it enough of a difference to make 88 a push and 22 a fold? That's my question. If they were 15% apart then it would be a lot clearer. I don't think 3% is enough, but I want to hear some thoughts.
