I see what you are saying, r8ed, but i think many players are missing the point.
It would depend on my assessment of my chances of winning the tournament and outplaying my opponents. I said at the outset to assume that I am a superior player to the others (whether I am or not is neither here nor there). In such a case, I will not give up my advantage in a situation like this.
If I was an equal or inferior player, then that would be a completely different matter. Then I would call.
This is the point - I want to play to my strengths, not get involved in a tricky situation.
