You do realize that in a SNG each chip you win is worth less than each chip you lose, correct?

This can be realized through a simple exercise in logic. Assume a standard 10 person game with a 5-3-2 payout structure. You buy in for $200, your stack is worth exactly $200(not taking into account any skill differential). You now proceed to win the tournament and have all the chips in play. Your stack is worth $1000 rather than the $2000 you would expect if the value of chips were to stay the same throughout.

Of course. And well put.
However, if poker were a game I played against a machine in a casino, my considerations here may be different... It's only a mathematic and theoretical exercise to a point.

I can understand Davids earlier question about the KK being a bit easier a fold (even though i'm not folding it, i'd say 50% of the time)- but I can understand that.
These circumstances- that stack, these blinds, 2 to act- with K/J, I'm going and will take my 10% edge against a headhunter with a grin.

When you push landon your giving the player in the big blind a 50/50 chance at cashing with 100 chips left. There is not much you can gain from this situation unless you hit the flop hard with the deep stacks calling you down and losing. Folding is the play.
