No Matt actually makes a really good point, sure assuming the maths of it works 100% assuming that each desicion is =EV, like in a cash game winning $500 and loosing $500 is a loss/win of $500, whereas in a tourney busting out of the tourney is pretty much always more expensive than doubling it is beneficial.

like if you have 10,000 chips and a $chipEV of $1,000, doubling up rarely increases your chipEV to $2,000 but busting out will defo reduce it to $0.

So the "tourney life" argument does have merit, but most of the time you just need to embrace a bit of variance if you wanna win stuff (not that I would know how to win donkaments lol)

I don't reply to these things very often as i suppose i don't have the confidence.  It always  amazes me to some of the concullsions and reads  you lovely people come to,  all of these mid game/hand.


However my thought are rather more basic and that is, if i have the worst hand i am out, i have nothing to gain ifi shove and  he does  LD, i can and we all have got back in a Tourney with 10bb's, where as if we are wrong we are out of the door.  For that reason alone i only call river.   Is my 10 bb better than nothing thinking  flawed?

You are right, as long as the numbers are close. Say we think raising is +EV, but only very slightly. Then we could call to preserve our tournament life. Just be careful not to give away too much value doing this, because a lot of people take it too far. You have to be willing to take risks to be successful.

Also, don't be shy. Nobody learns much from only posting their opinion when they are sure they are right. We all make tons of mistakes and being willing to search for and correct them is crucial. It's also the very purpose of Hand Analysis. Smiley Think about it, being the worst player on the forum would be a great opportunity!
