At what point do people stop assuming I just run well and start considering that maybe I understand something about tournaments that most people don't?

It might be that there's some bit of conventional MTT wisdom that may be turned on its head. It may be possible that in large field events it's okay to take slightly the worst of it to build a big stack because it improves your ability to continue accumulating chips. It may be possible that it's okay to take slightly the worst of it in an all-in situation when you have a big a big stack if doing so allows you to continue to pick up pots at will.

Its been discussed at some length, and alot of players here agree that taking the slight worst of it to gain a stack is pretty standard, as well as liberally calling all in's when losing the chips doesn't drastically affect your stack.

I don't want to take the air out of your ballon, but these are hardly ground breaking concepts.

Also, your initial post had 74s in EP, that's usually not taking the slight worst of it, but just taking the worst of it.

I think there is a significant difference between taking the slight worst of it in a situation, and creating a situation where you have the slight worst of it out of whole cloth.

I am not saying you are wrong, far from it. I've always been a thin edge guy, but I don't go out of my way to create these situations.......maybe I should. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Usually when I start hucking chips with both hands its in position, although I have taken to raising UTG as a steal because it works so often, but I'll try not to pot commit myself with pure crap.
