In general, I've found that over the whole tourney you have to play two hands better than everyone else (doubling up twice early essentially gives you the re-buy and the add-on), but over the whole tourney that can be done more often than not. I agree that at a freeze out tourney 11BB is not time for desperation. But in a re-buy add-on it was. We were in the last stage before the first break where basically the whole field (except for me) adds-on. I don't play just to survive, I play to win so I did feel I needed to make a move with this hand, I just didnt like my position.
Long story short - I raised 400. Two callers (one guy in mid-position other guy was button). Flop came out A58 (two hearts). I checked, second guy bet 700 (putting me all-in), third guy called, I folded. Second guy ended up losing with 8K spades versus A5 os.
So looking back I thought I screwed up by my normal raise preflop - thought I shoulda pushed (and probably woulda stolen the blinds). But now I'm thinking just cuz I lost doesn't mean I made the worst play (just fishing for opinions).
