ha, good point
 
that's so situational though
 
i'll take it from this angle ... you are not short stacked ... let's say you have 30X the BB, so mid-stack, and you raise 4X with your AK in position
 
another player with slightly more chips re-raises all in from the Big Blind .. you don't have a read on the player and if you call it would just be the 2 of you to the flop (obviously the player has overbet, but still it's hard to read ... is that his play with Dueces, AQs, or AA ... who knows???)
 
so you go, hmmm, what he got ... AA, KK, AQ, AJ, AT or any pair
 
the only hand that totally ruins your day is AA
 
but you are a dog to KK
 
and probably a slight dog to most pairs, coin flip YES, but u know how that goes 52-48 ... i'd still rather be 52 ... real small pairs can be counterfeited, but again COIN FLIP
 
sure u dominate AQ, AJ, AT, KQ, KJ but that is only 5 hands out of 20 possible hands that you can put your opponent on and the last 3 of those are pretty unlikely push hands
 
i certainly would not risk my tourney life there
 
so i guess, long story short, im not coin flipping for my tourney life unless i'm short stacked or pot committed
 
or if somehow the pot odds are very good ... i guess you could have limpers, then somebody else raises and the limpers go away, then you re-raise, then you get re-raised all-in ... now you've got a decent amount of extra chips up for grabs, so maybe you gamble
 
these are the things that make poker great ... im so sick about this US crap
