I totally get that, and I respect that line of thinking. It's a psychological/motivational thing. But if you've got no other options, keep that in mind. You are playing at the table with a weaker hand, and you run the risk that the other side will call your bluff.

At the end of the day, whatever works best for someone works best for him. I would just caution against intentionally backing oneself into a corner. Sometimes we do our best with our backs against the wall, but that doesn't mean we should seek to put ourselves in that position.
