I think most of you have ignored the most important issue here. Is it always correct to play for all your chips when you are in the lead? Suppose you stay near the average chip stack in a tournament (you will have ups and downs, of course, but suppose you are "typically" near the average). Even if you have your oponent(s) dominated, odds are that if you are all in three or four times in a tournament, you will be eliminated. Playing for cash, you can always rebuy, and in the long run, you will profit by playing for everything with the best hand. This isnt necessarily the case in a tournament! If you are playing against ery agressive, loose players in a tournament setting, you either have to get ery lucky early on to have a big enough stack for others not to hurt you, OR you have to defy the odds by winning more often then the odds dictate (even if you are *always* playing with the best hand).
