Saying they are worthless is being a realist.

If you are coming on after a series C you won't be getting any significant equity unless you are joining as leadership, and even then you are in the club and going to be well compensated anyway.

Saying they are worthless shows that you have zero skills at probability. A way to look at options is the way a good poker player tries to play when the bad beat pot is particularly high.

It depends more on how many bad hands you can afford to play on before netting a good hand. A good poker player may still fold if they've got a crappy hand because they know they're only going to enrich the pot for somebody else in this round, and by folding they stay in longer.
