Default Re: Tournament Poker for Advanced Players-quiz question

I think it has to do with probability of winning based on stack size. Basically, assuming you are equal in skill to the other players, you have a 60/190 chance of winning the whole thing. If you risk your chips going against a big stack, you are taking an unnecessary risk with - EV for the tournament. Give the short stacks a chance to blow it and move safely up the ladder.
