Re: Theory Discussion of a Point From \"Poker Tournament Formula\"
[ QUOTE ]
The extent to which early variance is good for you or not is a very personal thing, depending critically on the value you place on your time and on how you play poker. If you get knocked out will you be able to use your time usefully or not.

Well that's true of course. But it's not a practical matter what Snyder addresses. I believe what he's saying is that it should not be a personal thing. (It would be like saying "having poker skill is a personal thing".) In fast tournaments, risking getting a big stack and then using it well is poker skill (vis a vis long term EV in fast tournaments.)
