Default Re: Hypothetical Question

The only real benefit out of having this amount of chips would not be having 50 more chips than the opposition, but having 50 chips remaining should you be unfortunate and double someone else up, and then come back to finish ITM.

i disagree here. 50 more chips is 50 more chips regardless of how it helps the player. maybe it becomes 100 chips down the road through a double up, or maybe it just serves as a buffer from the blinds until the player picks up a hand. truly these instances have more value than the times when the player doubles someone else up (should be much less likely than the first two examples) and then goes on to finish in the money from 50 chips (even less likely).

i agree though, that the increase in roi would be quite negligible... probably in the tenth of a percent range... this would of course depend on the player's style to some degree as well.

do you have an answer curtains??
