Funnily enough I read a book by Helmuth and he recommends to never be allin if you can avoid it unless you have the nuts.
Ie fold pkt Aces.
Milk Chips from people , and basically see flops cheap , if you flop the nuts ...go for it.
Especially in the early going.
Why risk your tournament existence over 4-6 shot?

If it was a weekend long tourney like the big tournaments I'd do exactly that but this is a one night tourney where the blinds raise every 20 minutes so situations like this come up maybe once or twice the whole night for you. Look at the article and table Grimm posted. I was even higher (about 86%) to win pre-flop on that hand and over the long haul, especially in one night tournaments, where you aren't constantly having to make these decisions for the entire weekend I'll take those odds as I'll much more often than not come out smelling like a rose. I KNOW I have the best hand and am a big favorite to win going in.
