Everyone REALLY needs to go read the MTT forum. I'm getting tired of this thread because I'm explaining concepts which are considered fundamentally basic to winning at tournaments, and they're covered extensively there.

To be honest I'm kind of tired to see REGULAR MTT posters saying every time this discussion come up, that this is an issue already solved in the MTT forum, and some of you even ridicule some other posters just because don't accept POT ODDS like it was on the Bible.
This issue has not been resolved, I mean the issue that just pot odds matter and that you should take any ounce of EV regardless of some other circumstances.
Where were you guys when we discussed the issue in
** this post ** by Mason Malmuth ?
If you are so sure that Pot Odds is all that matter, why instead of responding posters in this forum and feeling all mighty about it, give it a try to respond to well thought and excellent posts like this one
Wotmog Theory
We have discussed this topic multiple times, long time ago, since I was not convinced I posted
this example and nobody of the regulars then could give a good answer. It was until the Mason thread with the Wotmog post the first time my example was explained; and if you really understand the WotMog post and read all the Mason thread; you'll see that the Pot Odds is all that matter mentality is far from being an issue resolved in the MTT forum.
I think the illusion with this being resolved has more to do with the macho mentality (i.e. "I play to win") and the proliferation of LAGS in the forum.
