Folding small blind so you can steal later

[bobneptune]

hello donk,

first of all let me say i am far from an expert on this topic and am happy to hear other's, better, informed views. my problem with this "standard" move is, it isn't consistent with the rest of the "standard" play of SnG's.

what i mean by that is SnG play is dominated by pushing in the stages of the game where the stack sizes dictate that play, not the cards. this is deemed correct because the math says it is correct. it is positive ev. fine.

if that's the case, then, why ignore positive ev play early in the tourney ??? especially when you are "risking" maybe 1% of your stack to see a flop that could (on rare occasions), send you on your way ???

to me, that's not logical..... but i've been wrong before :-> :-> :->
