3.30 MTT hand early middle stages... and a question...When you think you're in a coinflip should you always push hard in hopes of winning the pretty big pot in the middle already and if u get called u get called and still have a pretty good chance of winning?

I dont like to jeopardise my mtts on coinflips to be honest especially in the "early " stages.Unless I kinda have to like im priced in or im short stacked.

If this is still the rebuy period, I go for it with hopes of sucking out but planning on rebuying.
Freezeout, fold.

Usually, but you're usually looking for times when you're fairly certain you're in a coinflip situation, or times when there's a good chance your opponent will fold.
50/50 with a good chunk of money in the pot is pretty favorable, when it comes down to it.
