Your thinking is good OP but, I think the general opinion is correct on this one. The name of the game in tournaments is too survive.... in cash game I will never ever lay down KK. I don't care how many pre-flop re-raises there are I would rather lose it to the chance of AA then fold it.

In tournament I might fold to a couple re-raises pre-flop because I do not want to get out of the tournament, it's not worth the risk.

I'm showing you this extreme example to show that the +EV marginal situation is bad in tournament and not in cash game.

Hourly rate is very important but, what good is it if your out of the tournament. Once your out, your out you can't re-buy unless of course you can in which case you play the same as cash game.

Believe this to be true and you will go farther in tournaments then you have before.
