Unless I really feel like there are a whole of holes in their technique and I have room/time to escape, I'm a quick tapper once a sub is fully locked in. I've only had to tap for a choke in competition, and it was right after I had picked up gi training after training nogi for a year so I wasn't then comfortable with gi choke defenses but I held on right until I was passing out, I don't really remember tapping for it. If it had been an armbar, though, I'd tap quick as fuck.

I've rolled with some guys who roll to win, and there's a HUGE difference between an armbar where someone is training and an armbar someone applies with malicious intent. I've only had one time where I felt like my arm was a second away from popping, probably one of the scariest feelings I've ever felt.
