20% chance of immediately being out of the tournament isn't something that I would say I'm jumping to do when I have a huge stack. If you can avoid extremely high variance situations once in a while your game will improve drastically. Getting it in preflop with the best hand doesn't allow you the ability to say 'well, I got unlucky.' You could've done something different to allow yourself maybe less EV but much less variance. I would rather go for a 10% chance of being busted out for half the chips I would receive otherwise.

If someone pushed in on the first hand of the WSOP main event and I had aces, I would consider folding. One of the main problems with MTT's is the extreme variance. I don't make tons of final tables by playing all my hands for all my chips.
