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.
