In Response To: A threat is stronger than its execution (Timothy Chow)

The quote may originally stem from chess but of all the games that come to mind it applies the most to poker. There are times during a poker hand where depending on stack sizes you may decide to abandon the hand because you don't want to face the action on future streets. The threat of the potential up and coming bets is what pushes you out, not the actual execution.
