Very interesting post, tjh! I saw it before, but didn't look at it. You sure got a lot of stupid responses to that thread. I'm not sure why. Maybe for challenging conventional wisdom.

I think it's definately worth considering plays like pushing with TT. Even if one decides against it, the thought process involved in analyzing out what the best play is is useful in and of itself.

It seems to me TT will be mildly +EV. Personally I think at the lower levels it's not worth taking a big risk to obtain a small edge. Your biggest edge comes as the tournament progresses and where your end-game is far superior to theirs. So I see no need to gamble early on. If you have a clear edge, that's different. With a large sample I think you'd fine TT would be a small edge. I wouldn't push with JJ either, but maybe that's too tight.
