Fwiw, the large majority of pros whose opinions I've heard or read feel that it's not worth risking your tournament life early because doubling up only minutely increases your chance to win whereas losing means you have no chance. For example, Gavin Smith, one of the most loose aggressive players around, was asked if he'd call an all-in on the fist hand of the WSOP main event if he had AK and the all-in player accidentally showed his cards to be QJ. Smith said no. |
