however, if i directly bought in, i'm definitely gambooling it up, because if dropping a $10k buyin is not a big deal for me, neither is winning $11k.

I don't think so... 11k means something to everybody even the pros. If you double up, you are not guaranteed to make it past 50 more people so you don't win a lot of EV, however by folding you are 100% sure to make at least 11k. It's a fold.

i think this is incorrect. think about it in terms of the average $20-$50 partypoker (or whatever) tourney that you play. in those tournies, i'm pushing this everytime, because i want to double up, because i could give a [censored] about winning $20 for 3 hours of poker.

it's the same for big tourney pros who are investing hundreds of thousands a year into tourney entry fees. they are after the big score, not to sneak their way into a tiny return on their money.
