but if you think you are the better player you take the 50/50 confident that if you lose you're still favourite to win?

if i think i can get another game out of him because he thinks i only won on a gamble then yes. It depends, if i am only slightly better than him i would like to retain my chip advantage but if he is really bad then i would like to give him hope and i would gamble here. In thirty secs though, i probably wouldn't think like this and fold as chip leader anyway.

Sklansky's book (tournament play for advanced players) covers this sort of stuff really well.

lol, i found it useful. i think there are some books that have to be read because so many people have read them. I read his first one (which is quite boring actually) but this one is better. There are probably alternatives but i don't know of any. There are others on this board who probably know some good books for this kind of thing.
Edit: I am mathematically minded and his arguments are often mathematically based so i think that appeals to me.

I am fairly numerate but I dont use it very much at the tables. HU particularly the numbers go out the window.

I play it exactly like canuk. keep the pots small when I'm ahead and make the pots big when I'm behind. thereby effectively increasing or decreasing the lead depending on whether I hold it  |

must just be a difference of styles then cos I dont get that. HU Im trying to pick up every pot large and small. the only ones I pass are when I'm sure I'm behind AND I'm sure they wont pass. If I have 3/4 of the chips I'm taking the 50/50 because I'm better than my opponent (hence the large chip lead) and starting from even is no problem. if I'm behind on chips I dont want to give him the win on a coin flip.

I call on that .... it's a race...but if you lose, chips are equal and you start again, no biggie.
HU is probably the best aspect of my play, so if things end up equal after the hand I am not overly worried.
