I think the above advice is correct. In tournaments you want to maximize your odds to win pots, while avoiding situations that put you all in. At least until the competition gets thinned out.

As the previous poster stated, you may win 3 out of 4 but if the fourth one knocks you outta the tourney, the other 3 don't do you any good. In tourneys, the "life is one big session" adage doesn't really apply as well as with money games.

Also, I don't have a list of starting hand match-ups but I don't think JJ has THAT much of an advantage over Axs. Does anyone have the numbers?
