No, I haven't levelled anyone in this thread. I am serious, loads of people think this way.

How about this, everyone try asking five of your non-poker friends and report back the results?

Is your bet with your gf which line of thinking is most common or which line of thinking is most logical/best from an economic standpoint/most +EV? If its the first then its possible that more people wouldn't sell, but if its the second then why the [censored] are you still arguing? Clearly selling is better assuming you don't hate money, which seems perfectly reasonable.

I just showed this thread to three guys that I was doing an econ problem set with and they basically laughed at the absurdity of not selling. None of them play poker.
