The question here is "What is YOUR goal in this tournament?"
 
If your goal is to finish high or even win the tournament, you have to push hands like this with the expectation that you may get unlucky and not even cash.
 
If your goal is to cash and you are far enough in the tournament with a big enough stack that might reasonably allow you to fold your way into the money, then maybe you don't play hands like this.  You only play hands that are strong after the flop if they come along.  The odds are that, if you succeed in this strategy, you won't have enough chips to make a big run to the finish.
 
If your goal is to cash and you don't think you can fold your way into the money, this becomes a tougher decision.
 
Thinking that you will play tight so that you can cash, and then have an incredible run of cards and end with a big finish is not a goal.  It's more of a fairytale.
 
I have had extensive personal experience with this particular fairytale. :D
