Decision based on your ROI

Why would your ROI ever come into any decision that you would make?

Also I doubt how +EV calling with AKs is in the scenario you described.

If you are playing <insert your version of best player in the world here> heads up with deep stacks then you would be happy with a coin flip, however if you were playing <insert idiot who you hate here> then you would not.

If I call here with TT against AKs I win 54% of these flips. And theres 225$ dead money in the pot already. So its +$EV.

One of the key things that seperates tournament poker from ring games is this exact idea. The fact that you can't reload if you go broke plays a significant role in decision making. In tournament poker, you will often find yourself passing on +EV situations for the reason that you will have bigger +EV situations later in the game.
