Default Re: Deep in the tournament and your tournament life is at stake

Yea but there is also the chance he has a hand. Really think about it.

If you have position, can make reads on your opponent, and can out play him why the hell are you going to let luck dictate your actions. The pot was small compared to our stacks. No reason to push. I have so many more opportunities to beat this guy if I miss and to take chips from other weak players. Why go out in a blaze of glory and him get lucky. Out play him, read him, use your stack as a weapon later.

Just saying "push because most of his hands are worse than yours" just means your making a mathematical play.

Sorry I'd rather use more skills that just one to beat my opponent. I'll take playing lots of pots and winning most then playing fewer pots for all my chips. Because eventually someone lucky will suckout when you give them all 5 cards to see like this player has.
