I think the Stakes level play a roll here
If you're in middle to late tourney time, and you loose 1/3 of your 20bb stack in a failed flop, you can't allow to wait for premium.
Those times I'm tempted to play as rock with fear of leaving sooner, usually don't have an happy ending, and when that hand comes it's in a time where it doesn't make much difference what the holecards are.
So you've have to be patient enough to have play with relative decent hands as you find an Ev spot to shove or bet.
