The point I was trying to make is that maybe passing when UTG does have 30-40K may be a +$EV move, even though since it is +cEV, some would call.

Also earlier icm44 stated "Many fish play as you describe: they nurse their big stack, hoping to slide into the big money. Don't be one of them." I wasn't talkig about shutting it down and sliding into the money (although I may be a fish!)You can't "slide" >350 places from the bubble to last 2-3 tables without playing the aggressive poker that the big stack allows, stealing blinds, etc; but calling raises, all-ins from stacks that represent > 1/3 of your stack with hands that may be ahead, but marginally so may cost you more when u lose than what u gain when win.
