Sorry, but the OP is horridly off the mark. You will never have enough of a skill edge to make passing up a (circa) 80/20 chance preflop 'correct'.

Besides, you have things the wrong way round anyway. Cash games are all about pushing small edges, because it's +EV in the long run, and if you bust you can always reload (just make sure you're sufficiently bankrolled). Tourneys may well in certain cases require 'waiting for a better spot', as when you lose your chips that's it (assume it's not a rebuy). So you may fold a biggish hand preflop in the second hand of a tourney say, because if there's a slow blind structure and you are a good player you will be able to find better spots with your superior postflop play. Plus, there's far more negative EV in losing all your chips (you're out of the tourney) then there is positive EV in doubling your stack early (you're not actually that much more likely to cash/FT/win).

This is the quickest way to become far too weak-tight.
