Re: Players capable of folds v. players that are not
I think in a tournament one of your main goals is to eliminate as much variance as you can whilst remaining in a positive EV position, this is very unlike a limit ring game where in order to achieve a decent win rate you have to 'embrace' the variance and push small edges. Unless your hand is a monster you'd therefore probably prefer that opponents fold a good portion of the time. This gives you a nice steady supply of chips without the risk of a huge suckout. Remember chips you win in tournaments are mostly worth less than the chips you lose.
