Default There's no Always (or Never) in Poker

In the FTP $750K yesterday, I got crippled about 20 before the bubble. Now, normally, in the $5 - $30 MTTs I play, I will not settle for just making the money, so I usually just keep shoving any reasonable hand once my M gets below 7. In this case, however, since it cost me $0 to get my buy-in and the $262.50 for just making the money seemed like a reasonable +EV proposition, I just auto folded the next 3 orbits until we passed the bubble, even folding AKo in the CO with 3 left until the cash.

It disgusted me to do it, as that's not my personality, but the math made sense.
