I'm surprised at how manny people want to get all their money on a COINFLIIP. This is precisely what you want to avoid early in the tournamentn with a big stack. You accumulated a nice juicy stack and you can use it to gain chips in WAY less risky situations, stealing blinds, raising out players on flops, etc.

If you had 22 and raised on the button with 3k chips at 25/50 blinds, and sb folds and big blind flips his cards and goes all in with AKs and it folds back to you....do you want to call there? heh. it's a coinflip...!!

I think this is a terrible mentality to have: "well u gotta win a coinflip so might as well take one when it comes!" It is generally true that you have to win flips to win tournaments but that does not mean you use that as an excuse to risk your nice juicy bigstack early on in a tournament!!! Fold!
