Hi z32,

This is an excellent post, and your hand example is one I really like. One thing I have noticed about getting a crazy reputation is that it can have positive aspects as well. For example, the type of guy who's typing "omg wtf" often just thinks you're crazy, and while he will call you wider, he is also more reluctant to push on your blind because he does not distinguish between loose pushing and loose calling.

BTW, Slim I may have mispoken a little in my original post ... I'm certainly not saying to ignore ICM/equity, just that when you have a big chip lead and are considering investing a small fraction of those chips, then chip expectation becomes a much easier decision-making tool than equity expectation, even if it is inexact.

Best Regards,
Collin
