I'd also remind folks that when the payout is 50-30-20, taking that close call 3-way ain't such a bad idea.

I know that's a common notion here, but I'm still not completely convinced it's true, especially if you're the big-stack, and you believe you're better than the other 2, i.e., you know you can push them off pots with aggressiveness, or outplay them post-flop. Can you please explain why am I wrong, and how does prize-structure exactly affect this? (since I would have guessed that if the structure was 70-30-10, or closer to a winner takes all, *that's* where strictly +EV decisions are more important).
