"limpdick" your way? Come on you are being ridiculous. Go read some more books and get back to us with a report. Every decent author will tell you its about getting the most equity you can out of a tournament pot. A few players out there say they play to win every time and sure its nice to say that, but there are going to be times where you would be nuts to play aggressively on the very rare chance you win a tournament, but a simple fold generates a very good chance of you moving up a spot or two in the money.
I agree its silly to argue this here. We should go over to the 2+2 forum and see how many of them laugh at people who say its never correct to fold AA. Further lets see how many of them say damn moving up a place or two, you should be about nothing but winning the whole thing. If indeed all you think tournaments are about is winning, then by all means keep playing those tier one hands even when you shouldn't be. Your fellow tournament players will thank you for the extra equity you give them.
