In Response To: Dropping Takes Vs. A Weaker Player (Seth)

One of my lines is this: "One of the reasons I am the better player is that I KNOW this is a huge take." You kind of throw out a lot of your advantage by going against this knowledge.

Clearly applying an unbalanced MET is part of the process, however, this is generally way overemphasized by many players, IMO. The other part is the bot equity you might find for the weaker player is LOWER than his real equity, because he is going to misplay some moves during the rest of the game. Another big reason not to drop.
