Perhaps the problem should be restated. If, at the start of a tournament, you could flip a coin and either get an additional 1/3 of your chip stack or loose that amount, would it be +TEV to do so? I believe the answer is provably "no".

I don't know, but I get the impression Snyder would say "it depends on how fast the tournament is." Or maybe not with respect to your specific numbers. I don't know.
