I know the hands are not much but you have something general to think.
I find myself to many similar situtations that I think that my hand is better or slightly better than my opponents range and I get good pot odds to shove. On the other hand I have a decent stack to contrinue to play a normal style poker with no rush and find better situtations. My question is, is it worth to take theese risks? Sure I believe it is +ev my play thats why I make it, but maybe all theese small +ev situtations in the long run will be -ev? I am thinking that the fewer all-in you make during the tournament the more likely is to make a deep run.
