    Hey I bet if you read the thread you could figure it out!

    I did read it ....just think that in a situation like this if we bust on the bubble it def. sucks, but for the few times (less than 30%) that we bust, 70% of the time we have a dominate stack and probably 80% of that we take down 1st place just by having this one hand go our way. I just think that this situation changes a lot when we are in a tournament where 1st - 3rd are all paying out the same (like in a satellite) but in a typical tournament where 1st is what we are shooting for we have to go for it.

    The thing is that it's possible to be more exact with our answers, and that's the point of the thread.

    Should the fact that he's the big chip stack and therefore potentially the best player at the table be factored in. I mean if he has the big chip stack because he's a better player we should snap call no???

    What. Since when does stack size have to do with skill level?
