I've always believed, and everyone has always said, that the best you can do is get it in good and hope for the best. But, I'm not positive about that anymore. I've had a lot of tournaments where I got it in good and felted because someone sucked out on me. In a recent tournament I experienced this to the extreme when I went from a 1500 starting stack to a 7500 stack in just 5 hands and 10 hands later I got felted by 4 "got it in good" hands which ended up being out-rivered. So, I'm beginning to wonder if "getting it in good" is really good enough to justify getting felted.
If it's going to cost you your tournament life to call an all-in with a good hand (maybe even a straight or pocket aces pre-flop), should you always call it and take that risk of someone sucking out on your, or should you fold and live to play another hand?
