Re: Knowingly Taking the Worst of it
seems to me that a main issue here would be the stack size of player that you are knowingly takking the worst of it against.
If Player A has 1000 chips and hero has 2200 in chips, and average was 1250. Just rough numbers. Hero could take a slightly -ev situation.
This would in effect not hinder your ability to maintain with the field, but give you positive expectation if you win those chips.
The obvious plus of having more chips than your villain in a hand is the inability of being eliminated. The slightly -ev gamble now could prevent you from being eliminated from a Bad beat in a +EV situation if your chip stack was smaller.
