JR: Other players made comments that you should have called even though you knew you were behind because of the math.
Mike MatusowMM: I was getting 3-1 on my money, which was the right price to call, but I valued my tournament life more than the math involved in the hand.
[Harder] tried to tell Daniel [Negreanu] that it was a terrible fold, but Daniel agreed with me. With these young kids, it’s always pot odds and what-have-you, but they don’t understand that tournament poker is different. You can’t rebuy, so whether you are getting 3-1 or not shouldn’t matter. Two times out of three you will be out of the tournament.
JR: So tournament life supersedes the math involved with the hand?
MM: It’s not even close. Tournament survival is way more important than the math. From that point, I was able to chip back up and move onto the next day. I ran good for two days, and I even held the chip lead at a few points. That wouldn’t have happened had I played it straightforwardly and possibly gone bust with that set.

I always thought that it went without saying that you do not want to flip coins for your tournament life outside the bubble, unless you are shortstacked, or unless you do not expect to have an edge over the general field of players. Is this wrong?

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.
Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

I don't know how big that tournament was, but DAY 2 is rarely "early in the tournament"
