Don't think a 25bb AKs 3b aip vs a 27bb TT open is a cooler as much as it's what we all sign up for as tournament players. In those spots I will likely always embrace the variance and hope to prevail in the penultimate level before the money. I'd rather play for a run than a mincash, because I don't cash often enough for min cashes to be a profitable. On many a main event when those kinds of tv spots run rampant on days 5 and 6 with substantial pay jumps at stake, I've overheard many say, "It's the world series of flipping." Usually the flip winner. Like it or not, it's the grand bargain we've all agreed to. Jmho.
