Yesterday, I played in the $100 buy-in WSOP satellite on Paradise and was confronted with the decision to race early twice. The first time was on about the 7th hand. I was dealt AQ suited in late position and knew I was going up against a probable JJ-99 from early position. I decided that since only the winner gets a seat, I was willing to race earlier in the tournament then I normally would. A few hands later, I was dealt QQ and figured I was up against an AK and made the same decision. I was right about the hands, but lost both races.
Am I correct that you are better off gambling in a tournament structure like this since only the top position counts?
