BAK,

LDO. No one is saying that. Follow the discussion in the thread.

Yuv,

For like the fourth time: I agree with the pinch hitter analogy (though it isn't necessarily +EV to let an overall better player take over for you because (1) you may be better suited for what's ahead even if he is overall a better player(i.e. given the particular structure, knowing how to capitalize over your own crafted image, better knowledge of villains), and (2) the cost he's charging you for playing in your place, may outweigh his superior skill).

Nevertheless, yes I agree that if you have no scruples and your entire goal in life is to have your name at the top of the standings for this one tournament, you should hand off to the better player. I never said that this wasn't the case.

All I am saying is this, and this is like the fifth and last time I'm saying it:

Is a silly statement that is (1) in no way akin to the Bonds/Antonius analogies, and (2) not true given the nature of the game.
