Message: [QUOTE="Monoxide, post: 1407118, member: 22706"] I dont understand how thats not a +ev play in a tournament. The more chips you gain, the better chance at achieving the main goal of a tournament, to win 1st prize. If elky "gives" you the option to either win a small pot quickly eliminating any future bets, or win a huge pot by playing the hand to its maximum value... thats always the correct option. If the money truely means so much to the particular player in terms of moving up the ladder, then its a huge hinderance on your ability to play and basically cripples you, i know from experience in being in this situation before. Also considering how many chips toth had, he isnt even eliminated if he loses the hand plus having a chance to pick off elky on a bluff and knock out him out? The value in that alone is immense in moving up the ladder. [/QUOTE]
