In MTTs, people play to survive when they should play ot win.

People should play to maximise +EV in MTT as well. That simple.

In all likelihood, both will make the same mistake many times over. Long live poker, master of denial and self-deceit.

I wonder if the lemon juice would disguise bluffs also.

Yeh, but people pay too much attention to cashing or moving up in the money when they should be playing for the top places. Your EV is generally maximized when youplay for the top places.

Sometimes in MTTs, particualrly at the final table, it is correct to play tight to move up in places.

I love to see fish make idiotic plays and suck out. That just reinforces their thought process, and they keep making those mistakes.

The caller made a horrible mistake also, unless he was really familiar with that player. I made a similar play once with AK after seeing someone go all in on 5 consecutive hands when the blinds were 25/50. He turned over 59o and lost to my A high.

Interesting thought process here. If you had been running over the table on the bubble as you indicate, I would most likely call the push here as well. If he wins this hand (that he is a 65-35 favorite in), he becomes the dominant chip leader and has a solid chance of taking down first place. If he folds this, then what else must he fold while the small stack is still around? What happens if the small stack makes it through the next orbit? Is this guy suppossed to just passively fold all his hands to your greatness? Not only do I not see this play as "retarded," given the information you provided, I consider it the CORRECT play. Why wait around and HOPE to spinelessly win $4? The push, IMHO, is what is suspect. The only callers you will get are the ones who have u dominated. You should have been down to about 1200 chips here.
