baltostar, the recent points you are making were discussed on these boards to death from around 2004 and on. Your "side" was usually the losing side, and for very good reasons. If you are so passionate about MTT theory, go read the archives before bombarding this forum with your long winded posts.

Huh? So, the "never pass up EV+" side was *sometimes* the losing side ? Did determination of which side won/lost depend on who was reading the thread ? Did it depend on which day of the week it was ? What the price of gold was ?

One thing is clear: if it's a hotly debated theory, and neither side can gain a decisive edge, or provide an ironclad proof, then these boards certainly should not adopt it like a puppy and apply it ad infinitum letting it pee all over the house. This is madness.

Do you really believe that no matter the tournament context, no matter the hand scenario, that a player should be willing to scale his variance to maximum whenever he perceives he even the tiniest EV+ edge ?
