Re: Discuss: Book Excerpt form Tournament Poker for Advanced Players
The question was taken out of context. There was more discussion of the relevant ideas in the text.
You are certainly right that a very small stack should not be avoided at all costs and that being desperate doesn't mean you should make large negative EV plays. But it is easy to show mathematically that small negative EV plays should be made if even worse plays quickly loom on the horizon.
