In such a situation, you can wait a long time for that wonderful chance to double through someone with a killer hand. Basically that's what hero did. He waited out the SB until he got A7 all in vs. A5.

We're sitting on our hands so that we can call off half our stack to an all-in raise holding a "killer" A7o?

I disagree that this is the time to wait. The blinds are small, but they hit almost every hand. At the beginning of the history, Hero has an M of just under 12, and his stack diminishes by M every three hands. He has 36 hands until he's blinded off, unless SB folds to his BB. How often does a great hand come along? How often does a great hand go up against an opponent willing to get his chips in the middle? How often are you going to be fortunate enough to get all in against a dominated hand? I'm not saying go nuts, but our hero is simply going to hit first more often playing more aggressively.
