2. When an individual has some catastrophic blackmail on someone else but only chooses to use it as a last resort (loosely based off Russia's dead hand (go look that up))

Person 1: Yo, how did Mark get fired? Wasn't he a model employee?
Person 2: Yeah, but he was fucking with the wrong guy for too long, then that guy recorded him saying some of the foulest fucking shit ever, and then he showed their boss.
Person 1: Seems a little excessive.
Person 2: Well, that was his dead mans hand. He tried to resolve the situation by literally any other means, but Mark just keep pushing his luck.
Person 1: Well, I guess that's fair.

a "Dead Man's Bluff" is:
(1)
A beautiful countryside with overlooking cliffs designed as a graveyard, OR, the same where one would go to 'expire' upon imminent death.
(2)*
A modern example would be someone standing on a ledge with the apparent intent to jump to their death:
A 'good samaritan' goes to the ledge but - after the person fails to respond to 'Positive Reinforcement' - the samaritan tries using Reverse Psychology; resulting in the Disturbed individual to reflect more on the reasons TO jump.
Or, in any case, where the samaritan simply calls on the jumper to carry out the 'threat' 'Suicide Angel', resulting in a Failed attempt in reverse psychology, where the jumper's resolve is solidified to fulfill the act.
(3)
If someone were to fall into the hands of an enemy; and that enemy were threatening to Kill that man (whereby death was imminent) - the man would declare intimate knowledge of something of value to his captors to sustain his own life for an extended period of time.
