Hey, I certainly don't think that Im one of the best players on 2+2, or even one of the better ones. I just meant that I'm not some total newb whose really out of line.

To me this is a little more realistic, but that's just quibbling over a small 4% EV difference. The real issue is whether or not it's worth it in a tournament to put your whole stack at risk with only small edges in your favor.
Mike, your line is 100% right in money games, I just feel that in tournies since you only have 1 shot and can't rebuy, protecting your chips becomes more important. For example, if you had the chance to put your money allin as a 51% favorite in the first hand of the tourney, would you take it? I feel that you have more equity waiting for a better spot. Obviously there is a line somewhere, and often somewhere later on in the tourney I will make this call. Usually only when The blinds force me to do so, though. It's tough to win more than 1-2 coinflips in any given tourney.

First hand of the tourney I get a chance to double up when I'm a mathmatical favorite? I'm taking it 100% of the time.
So what happens here:
Almost half the time I free up the remainder of my day to go chew up cash games.
A little more than half the time I get a double stack to dominate the table and dramatically improve my chances of going deep and accumulating a monster stack.
Man I wish I had that chance EVERY tourney I play!
