Re: The Freakonomics of Tournaments: A Preview (74s UTG at final table
People talk themselves out of doing the right thing all the time. It's easy to say in our cool analysis of the situation that pushing 98s vs. me is right there. But in the heat of battle it's easier to say that you'll fold and get me next time when you have a real hand, or you'll just wait to open push.
(And if you're the big blind there isn't a hell of a lot of dead money anyway given how small the antes online are.)
