I agree with this one....
We can all agree that you can get sucked out on right?
Well If I told you that I was going to give you A-A and I would take 2-7o/s or any other hand that you would like me to have, and if I win you give me
$10,000. If you win, you have to beat 2500 other guys to the final table.
You really don't get much if you win here do you?
IF you lose, you're out $10K.
If you win, you're really not up that much in the grand scheme of things.
Let's say you win. Fine, now you have $20,075 or whatever the blinds are to start. Give the rest of the field 4-5 hands and there are guys ahead of you.
Why risk it?
Yes I beleive I am good enough to build a stack without an all-in gamble like that.
And yes I understand that you have to make lots of all-in gambles to place in this tournament.... However, that being said.... do it when there are more chips on the line.

I'm not saying anyone is wrong... In fact statistically speaking I should push-in.... I just feel it's not worth it.

If this was a S&G... Then I wouldn't hesitate. Same for a ring-game. and same for a small-buy-in multi table.
Just not for a large buy-in multi-table. I want to play in the WSOP, I don't want to watch it.

My two cents.
