    From the SitNGo Wizard help:

    "The Diff% is the difference in equity between pushing and folding. Technically speaking, you can push any positive Diff%. But you may want to fold hands with a small positive Diff% because you expect to have better opportunities in the future. This is especially true early in a tournament.

    Since you may want to pass up a small positive Diff% when the risk outweighs the reward, the required edge sets the minimum value of Diff% which you can push. Diff% should be greater than Edge% to push. Think of it as a factor of safety. When your stack is large relative to the blinds and there are still several players remaining in the tournament, you don't need to risk all your chips on a close decision. Therefore, you need a larger required edge to play a hand. When you have a short stack or there are only a few players left you have to be more willing to take chances, so the required edge is smaller."

    "If the Diff% is greater than the Edge%, the suggestion is to Push or Call. Otherwise, the suggestion is to Fold."
