Re: A \"poker theorist\" view of all-in late in tournaments.
Your concern is appreciated. I got this as a library book. I won't have the time to work through some of the math and take a closer look unless I decide to buy it. However, some information that may help you put this into context: First, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson knows the authors, wrote the forward, and strongly endorses the book. Second, here is a quote, from page 137, to give you an idea of where the authors are coming from: "...97s is a jam for stack sizes up to approximately 36 units, despite the fact that it is an underdog against a random hand; what matters is only its equity against the range of hands with which the opponent will call."
Any further comments would be both interesting and appreciated.
