I hope you know my AA was in sarcasim mode. 
 
Poker is all about edges. Cash games you can sit and wait until you have a huge edge over everyone else playing that hand. It is a game of patience and control.
 
Tournaments you have to push smaller edges because of the increasing blinds. mrrigel, what is you edge threashhold? Most tournaments players live between 60/40 and 50/50. If I know someone is on a draw and goes all-in, I will call every time. You have them 2/1 on the flop and 4/1 on the turn. What better odds are you looking for?
 
You are classifying yourself as super tight. What I am trying to really tell you is that this style can work but you are shorting yourself. Your friends are trying to tell you that you could be making alot more than what you are by allowing yourself to open up your game some.
 
It is the risk/reward principle. You call one of your opponents all-ins on the flop. You win 2 times and bust out 1 time. That double up may allow you steamroll and make it to a final table. That is where the serious money is. One top 10 finish is worth more money than 3 finishes just inside the money.
