GO MAKE YOUR OWN THREAD ABOUT THIS CRAP. And maybe in the beginner forum or poker theory or reply to the recent ones here relating to that cardplayer article. Basically you are very wrong and even if you were right about better opportunities and all that you'd still be wrong because a tournament starts every 15 minutes on pokerstars. You can "reload" like in a cash game by joining a new one and use your supposedly better than a standard edge skills in another tournament.

Disregard the weak/tight gentleman. It is a MUST CALL. There are only half a dozen players on pokerstars I'd put on {77, 44, 22} here. Against other possible hands you have the right price.

So if you were given the option to put all of your chips in the pot as a 51% favorite on every hand of the tournament, you would do so?

Even if calling here is +EV, it is only by a slight margin, and given it's a deep stack tourney, your $EV may go down slightly, but your variance will go down so significantly that it is in your best interest to wait for a better spot.

That's assuming its +EV. I think its -EV to call.

Do you realize hero is getting 1.7:1 on his money? He doesnt need to be a favorite to win to make the play profitable, or +EV. This is a pretty clear call once we are put in that spot.
