From a tournament perspective, I am thinking that my tournament life might be more important than bluffcatching a random Kd. I believe 95% of his worse made hands checks back. These spots will show up consitantly, and a definitive way to not reach my goal of being a +EV player is to constantly hero-folding / hero-calling in hard spots like this.
Can I get some thoughts on
- Pot-controlling hard spots?

Tournament life vs value?
