Once again, what is it about risking 1/22 of your stack with the possibility of nearly doubling it that is such an egrerious error?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your hand is not always going to hold up, and sometimes you will run into set-over-set on the flop (the idea that anyone would be able to sniff out set-over-set 100% of the time with no false positives is garbage).

And I really hope that use of "penultimate" was a joke.

*edit: "$EV still is penultimate, tournament or no." Assuming by "penultimate" you mean "paramount", again see my earlier post. $EV is not "penultimate" in all cases, since unless you have an incredibly large amount of money relative to the stakes, you will have bankroll considerations. But like I said before, if you want to put your entire life's savings on the line with an 11-to-10 shot, be my guest.
