I had an even longer write up originally, but I'll try to summarize haha.I might argue it's more important to think it terms of getting it all in the on the river in tournaments, but only because inevitably tournaments become shallow by design. It's the only way to eliminate all but one player in the end. Earlier in tournaments if stacks are deep I can understand a goal of "getting as may chips as in as possible" in certain positions whether or not that's actually all-in.
On the other hand, one of my major belief in tournaments is protecting chips is more important than gaining chips (especially once "in the money") so I probably seek fewer spots in which I am looking to play for stacks unless I am already short-stacked.
This could be a whole other thread .
I think what you said about tournament strategy really only universally applies to freezeout tournaments, which are not really the norm anymore. It's going to vary how deep you are. What your rebuy or re-registration options are, bounties, etc. In many MTT structures, chipping up early means going for stacks.
I think modern tournament play equates closely to short stack, min buy in cash play. Narrow range, trappy, commit stacks when you know you're ahead, even if it's a slight favorite in a coin flip.
