Lemme tell you a little secret: Coin flips will not win you any tourneys. Going AI with TT and you know your opponent has AK isn't a "good thing". There was one poster in that thread who replied most sagely, "so you're saying that you'd rather play 52 tourneys with 2000 chips than 100 tourneys with 1000chips for the same amount in buy-ins? I'll take the 100 tourneys and 1000 chips." Right on, brother. Play poker, not the lotto. Oh by the way, do the math on this: every tourney has registration fees. If you are going to be flipping coins, you have to be able to cover the registration fees with your odds. That means, 10% fees, you have to be favored 55/45 for it be a push. Sure, sure, the advantage of playing this way is that once you win that first coin flip, the second doesn't knock you out, right? BullXXXX. Do you know why Vegas always wins? Sure, the games are all favor the casino, but they win because the have a functionally unlimited bankroll. They can withstand variance, YOU CAN NOT!!! There is no amount of chip lead that can help you withstand variance to the extent that you need it to. If you play in this style, you are playing the lotto. My brother has a saying, "the lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math." Check your math, don't play the lotto.
