Slick, or not so slick?

When you're on the bubble, it can really pay not to play. Folding your way into the money is a legitimate strategy. It's not playing to win, certainly, but it's better than not cashing. Last night, in the first tournament I entered, I made it to the bubble. When I was dealt a big slick (ace king), I had a decision to make. Did I want to cash, or did I want to have a chance to win? I chose the latter, and ended up hitting the rail. I don't feel bad about making that choice, though; the real profit in MTT-Rs comes from getting to the final table, and it's hard to get there by folding premium hands.
