I see your point about getting a worse hand to come over the top, but I don't think this situation is right for this argument. When the race for 2nd and 3rd is so close, and your hand is not that strong, you much prefer to just take the blinds than to to seek out a preflop all-in against another marginal hand.

Exactly. Except for A2-A7 and 8x there are no hands you would like to come over the top.

it sounds like you WANT to get involved in a 60/40 for your tourney life. with the blinds this low, just pass and wait for a better opportunity.
