    never fold just to cash, take every +EV chance you can get no matter how many people there are.

    as for the hand you should be repopping this all in preflop and throwing it up as a cooler

    If your goal is cashing then fold. If your goal is to build up your chips and take a run at 1st then you play the hand for all your chips. Coolers happen.

    Play to win... limping into the cash is useless, basically get your money back,,, tournaments are all structured for top 3 payout.

    I repop AI preflop there, and i walk away.

    Always play to win in MTT since the top spots are so heavily weighted.

    It's alright to play to cash in SnG's, and once you make the money, try to win because the money is more evenly distributed...
