For me, and I'm sure for many others long time posters/readers, this is just a boring deja-vu.

How can it possibly be boring deja-vu when endlessly and innumerably advice is given on these boards to pursue perceived EV+ without any regard to the impact of scaling tournament variance ?
As you know, massively scaling up variance gets you more big plus results than not scaling up variance (all else being equal).
I think what is going on here is that a lot of players who don't understand the prob theory behind this stuff have chosen to go with scaling up variance at every perceived EV+ opportunity because it puts them in the winners circle more often. Bragging rights kick butt, especially amongst young players.
But in the long run it is not near optimal, nor maybe even a winning, strategy.
As the voice of reason in poker, 2p2 should not be fueling "gambling it up" as the preferred approach to MTTs.
