Playing for money that will more than triple your roll......

I can't think of many situations where it would be proper but here goes. If you have an excellent chance of moving up 1 spot on the payscale by not pushing an edge, and if the extra money for that 1 spot is a meaningful amount of money to you. Then I don't see a problem with playing cautious.

Example: You're a low-limit player in on a satellite. Your current bankroll is 1000 and you are at the final 6. Difference between 6th and 5th is 10K. If there's a seriously short stacked player about to go out then you can fold the better end of a coinflip and feel good about it.

Note that I'm only saying if the difference for 1 spot is a significant amount of money to you. Most of these tourneys are pretty flat until the final 3.

lol, thats not playing cautious, thats playing smart poker. its like recognizing the bubble and using it to PUSH edges, not call them. calling as a coinflip on the bubble is stupid. holla
