Why is giving up .15 so sick?

Because in average, you don't get without massive reads a much higher edge IMHO. And in addition, playing fast here decreases average SnG-Time, so we can get in average in more +EV spots sooner, that makes it even more +EV.

Taking that small of an edge just increases our variance when we can easily get large enough edges. .5 isn't a rule or anything, you can take any edge you want. It's a good place to go for though for someone who isn't sure of a play like this.

Have you calculated how BAD the villains need to be to cover an 0.5 edge?? I did, and if at least one reg is at the table, it's not worth to think about.
