A common scenario for tournaments is an all-in situation when you or the other person has a short enough stack. For example, say the blinds are 100/200, and the Button goes all-in with his last 400 and the SB folds. You are in the BB and need only call 200 when the pot contains 700. Only if you knew your opponent had a pocket pair higher than both your cards could you fold. Since his range is sure to include other hands, you should call with any 2 cards, even 23o, because the price is right and you will make money in the long run. Priced in is just another way of saying your pot odds are too good to fold.
