Why is this? In a cash game doesn't chip EV = $ EV?
I think this refers to if you're on a limited bankroll. If my last 1$ in the world was in front of me and I was facing a very marginally +EV situation then I could pass on it given that a more +EV (or an equal EV but less marginal) situation would occur later on.
