So if you were given the option to put all of your chips in the pot as a 51% favorite on every hand of the tournament, you would do so?

Even if calling here is +EV, it is only by a slight margin, and given it's a deep stack tourney, your $EV may go down slightly, but your variance will go down so significantly that it is in your best interest to wait for a better spot.

That's assuming its +EV. I think its -EV to call.

Do you realize hero is getting 1.7:1 on his money? He doesnt need to be a favorite to win to make the play profitable, or +EV. This is a pretty clear call once we are put in that spot.
