If you think you're that easy to outplay, dont play in a big tourney.

The point isn't that we're easy to outplay, it's that our stack size is easy to outplay, given these raise sizes. Part of the story is that he knows that, which makes it more likely he's making a move. The bigger part is that we happen to have *the* hand that is easiest to outplay in this particular stack size/bet size scenario (With something like JJ/QQ a line where we flat call could be the best way to exploit someone getting too out of line which this squeeze, and we can avoid being exploitable in this particular way entirely by making the original raise with a tight range (of course avoiding getting squeezed isn't our primary thought when raising, unless we know we're getting squeezed a lot)). We also have the ideal cramming hand for reasons we all understand.

So cram.

The tournament being slow is not an excuse for passing up the more +EV play to minimize variance.
