I believe this is probably the most crucial aspect and also one that I tend to forget a lot of times in the heat of battle. This specific tournaments had a lot of weak players and I would guess that at least half of the remaining 30 players were recreational / straightforward players.
Also, I think the difference in playing a 40BB stack (start of the hand) compared to a 20BB stack (when getting at in and losing) is way bigger than the difference between a 40BB stack and a 60ish BB stack (when getting it in and winning).

The table was 8 handed and original raiser was either Lojack or Hijack
