Re: Arnold Snyder\'s Response to Sklansky\'s Article is Up
If you have the book it's in the section titled "Folding Aces." In this he sets up a scenario where there are 5 people left in the WSOP ME. The chip leader has $2 million in chips, the next 3 all have $1 million, and you're so short stacked that you're almost certain to go out in 5th. Then all 3 of the $1 million stacks go all in, you look down and see AA. Sklansky says that you should fold since in the unlikely event that your aces hold quadrupling your stack still isn't going to help your chances much. By folding you're virtually guaranteeing you'll place 3rd or 4th.
That's the setup. Then he says "about the only person who should consider playing two aces in this spot is me, since the extra book sales a World Championship would give me might swing the decision to a call."
