Tournament Play Question

[bigslikk]

Early in tourney, stacks are deep:
Flop comes, unpaired board with 2 spades, no straight draws.

You have Ax of Spades on the button.

A very modest pot sits in the middle.

Play is 3-handed, first-to-act pushes all-in, easily > 10x the pot; guy behind calls. You're covered by both.

You're priced right. In cash game, call = +EV. But you're only about 35% to win, depending on villain cards. 65% to bust out of tourney. Is it always right to play pot odds in a tournament?

As is prob. obvious in this "hypothetical" situation, I called. Results motivated this post.

Call, because a 2-3x chiplead gives you a huge edge over the rest and increases the odds of you being ITM hugely.
