See I don't subscribe to this strategy at all. The goal of a tournament is not to survive, it is to accumulate chips. You will have to double up several times just to make the money. Look at tournament structures and how top-heavy they are. You don't make money by cashing in tournaments, you make the money by hitting the big score. That doesn't happen by passing up small edges and valuing "survival".
 
On another note to other people who say they didn't come to the ME to bust out first hand, that's true but did you come to the ME to sit back and fold until you had to risk your 10 BBs with A5s? If you're talking about a money standpoint and maximizing chance of cashing you're probably right (and I've said I'd probably call, but obviously in the poll I picked **** tournaments :p), but from simply a memory standpoint I'd much rather maximize my odds at a final table or win. After all that would be the big memory that would last a lifetime. Not to mention that in a tourney like this not only is the prize pool so top-heavy but the top gets even more money in terms of endorsements, so it's almost like there's more money at the FT/1st place.
