[QUOTE="Kasanova King, post: 1409460, member: 59280"]
I've actually cashed in close to 40% of all the live tournaments that I've played in.  I've won 2 - (1st place). 2nd and  3rd in another, also chopped a few times at the final table....out of about 35 - 40 or so that I've played.  The fields were always at least 100 people, some upwards of 300.  The buy ins ranged from $50 - $350, so I guess they were pretty low stakes.  I know that is an extremely small sample but that's just to give you an idea that I do understand the concept of live tournament poker.

Of course I would want someone to call with AQ if I was holding KK at ANY stage of the tournament.  I'll take a 70/30 all day long.  It's the much closer 55/45 maybe 60/40 situations I'm referring to at certain times during the tournament.

There are many variables that need to be considered, stack sizes probably the most important.  I would take a 55/45 or a 60/40 at any point if I had a 2-1 (or more) chip advantage vs villain or if I had less than 20bb and I could double up.  But like I said, every situation is different and when playing tournament poker, EV should only make up a part of your multi level decision making process, especially during crucial parts of the tournament.
