I get it. They're overplaying their hands and calling off huge bets when their stack size makes it completely unnecessary to play that way.

clearly, either the tens should limp/call preflop from the small blind, or just call a reraise - in a blind vs. blind battle - with the fifth best hand in poker, so that they can be OOP for the rest of the hand with 2 million in the pot and 4 mil in his stack. actually, wait, the best play is to fold (with a 57/43 edge that's certainly not enough to PUT HIS TOURNAMENT LIFE ON THE LINE.)

or maybe AK should just call the original raise (you know, holding AK) or fold to the shove (you know, holding AK).

or maybe, just maybe, they both played well and one got unlucky.

So where do you draw the line?

What if they each had 70 BB? 150 BB? 300 BB? First day? 2nd day?

Would this be standard in all of the above scenarios?

At what point don't you take a chance like this even if it blind vs blind?
