Default Re: Annie Duke... And Won Millions

You are not looking to gamble "value of chips" You are looking to make +ev decisions based on all factor. If she really claims it is ok to make -ev decisions, that is wrong. The idea is to accumulate chips, not to engage in battle with people with higher or lower EV of chips. The reason for taking on small stacks is that you can face them with elimination and often make them(or medium stacks) fold by applying pressure in situations where they will have to commit all of their chips. Having a big stack allows you to avoid that problem(in most cases), and allows you to get away from your hand in certain spots where a smaller stack would be commmitted.
