It's an interesting concept here, but there still hasn't been any real quantification on what kind of edges should be passed up and which should be taken, in actual practice.

I can definately undertand passing up a perceived 55-45 flip for a large percentage of my chips at a table in which I am one of the strongest players. Once I get to 60 percent equity I have a very hard time releasing even against a very bad player, unless I'm heads up (my particular specialty). Getting 2-to-1 I'm certainly playing.

Why? Because it seems like common sense, but that's a long way from having a mathematical justification for it.

Also, some players' style will allow them to play big stacks better than others (even assuming equal skill in the game overall). In their case, wouldn't taking some greater level of marginal +EV situations for big pots early on (for the sake of accumulation) play more to their strengths?
