The sneaky flaw in your argument is that team playing for first always knock each other out under your scenario. What about the times where they steal three or four times from team fold into the money and are left battling for first and second?

I'm not saying that you're wrong (although I'm a card carrying member of team play for first - although in limit it is easier to change your mind), just that you're being sneaky.
