Re: The Fine Line Between FPS and Being a Robot

In moshman's book he explains why doubling up early and taking risks doesn't work.
The reason is that doubling up early does not double your tournement equity.
He gave an example of two other guys in your sng being all in, one eliminated, and one doubling up. And he stated that in the long run BOTH lose from the situation, compared to the player that avoided the all in.

I read the book, and the example is about taking a coinflip early.
Please re-read what I wrote in my post. Doubling up early does not double your $EV, but it does INCREASE your $EV. Finding the right balance between risk/reward is the key.
