I am simply saying that given these two scenarios...

You have 5BB. You must push with hand range x-y.

You have 12BB. You mush push with hand range x-y.

No other options.

...he would be better off starting with 12BB.

again. your point is merely showing that having a 12BB stack is preferable to having a 6BB stack. that is true, and i'm not disputing it. i'm only saying that the 12BB stack is LESS than twice as valuable, in terms of your overall chances. think about this example:

with the 12BB stack, you're in a tourney that for whatever reason offers disconnect protections. if you had the option of raising to 6BB and disconnecting, essentially being allin, wouldn't that be your best option?? isn't it very likely to get you more +EV on that hand, than you could by any options that you actually have in a tourney with a 12BB stack?
