Re: give up and accept second?
[ QUOTE ]
is this line of thinking (that my time and effort aren't necessarily worth the less-than-50-50 chance that i'll get first, when i've already got second locked) anywhere close to reasonable? or am i just a complete boob?

You are a COMPLETE BOOB!
Seriously what the heck are you thinking. I assume these are 10 man SNG's with a 50-30-20 payout so of course you should be playing to win when it gets down to the end. This is CRUCIAL time in a SNG. Play once it gets down to 3 people is one of the most under-discussed aspects of SNG play. Everyone seems fixated on bubble play and making iot into the $ (for obviuos reasons), but to be atruly successful player you need to maximize every opportunity to make more $ and you have a great chance.
In your scenario with 10k vs your 3k, if you double up once you have virtually an even stack.
Honestly, I cannot even believe you posted this question, to me there is no real discussion necessary.
When down to two, no matter what your stack size is..play to win!
When I read your post I thought you going to give a bizarre scenario where 3 players remained and the 2 identical large stacks were both all in and you were deciding what to do with your small stack and JJ in the BB. That might be worth discussing.
