Message: [QUOTE="Fish, post: 389758, member: 9571"] It has nothing to do with ME getting YOUR chips. It has to do with the fact that YOU have a great Opportunity to gather MORE chips. By Sitting out, you negate that +EV, and let others catch up. There is NEVER a correct time to sit out with a large stack (or any size stack honestly). It's just plain poor strategy. The only time it may be worth sitting out, is in at the start of a LARGE tournament with a very good blinds structure. If you are concerned you may Lose this big stack, then at what point do you decide to play again? Playing with a large stack is something alot of players (typically losing players usually) are afraid to do. I don't know why, they just get flustered. To sum up, you just give away WAY too much EV to make sitting out a good play. Unfortunately, explaining this is kind of like trying to explain to someone that internet poker is not rigged. No matter how you explain it to them, they will not change their mind. [/QUOTE]
