Part Thirteen - Miscellaneous

A catch-all for the loose ends of the endgame. Deals: trade upside for certainty - consider one when variance is high relative to your edge, and know that a chip-chop rewards big stacks while ICM compresses payouts toward the short stacks, so negotiate the formula that favors you. Satellites and qualifiers invert normal strategy: because every seat pays the same, survival is the only currency - you'll fold even aces to lock a seat, while the big stack bullies the bubble mercilessly. And the endgame is psychological: spot the opponent playing not-to-bust and attack his fear. These five hands drill the situations that don't fit anywhere else - but win and lose real money all the same.
