Quote from Zach;

'Early on it's all about chip accumulation while later on it's all about survival' suggesting someone had it backwards.

While both these factors play in all tourneys, are you going to come right out swinging aggressively in the first hand, or first orbit without any read on either the flow of the table in general, or the people in particular?

There is a period at the very start of tourneys, that is a no mans land.  Many folks are feeling lucky, others are impatient, and of course there are the drunks.  These are not who I want to be flipping with in the first few orbits.  Certainly with speculative cards that we all will play later in the tourney.  In your first question you gave specifics that bypass these normal concerns for more respectable players and added in the ME factor.

IMO, under these circimstances, the call is necessary.  You have the edge, and isolation and the rest of the world is blocked out from that moment in time.  Defining moment for the rest of the tourney.

Caveat is that had villain not shown his cards, I would be less inclined to call this bet here!
