Agreed, in an SNG when it comes to potential big pots, you're more worried about about varience than EV. If you can convince just one of those hands that it might not be worth it you've helped your chances in this tourney significantly.

You never EVER want one of those hands to fold.

why not? It is the same concept with big pairs in stud. You are much happier when it is heads up then with a lot of people drawing. Especially in this spot, there are a lot of chips in the pot already compared to the blind level, you dont want to give someone a chance to do exactly what happened.

The horse race concept is not nearly as big a deal in HE. Espically if you think your opponents could likely have PPs. Now you only have to dodge 2 cards per opponent.
Horse racing would make much more sense if you had AK and didn't want a QT or 87 to come along. You don't have a big edge against those opponents.
And the in the said hand when you get 3 other callers you'll quadruple up 55% of the time. And you'll pretty much have the tourney won then.
