In a very deep-stacked, long blind level tournament, with a flat prize
structure, and a player much better than average, I don't think it's at all
obvious that his tournament equity would be multiplied by as much as 1.25
by doubling his stack on the first hand, especially if he was at a weak table.
I don't think it's obvious, but I really don't know.

I appreciate the observations but in reality it doesnt really work like this imo. You cant think along these lines in all honesty in the heat of battle. By this sort of logic youd only ever risk your entire stack if you were a 90%+ favourite or had a lock and you cant do that in poker. A tournament is won or done well in by a series of different moments where hopefully you get your money in infront and hold up, this being one of those moments.

expect him to tell anybody that he'd fold all hands in this situation, or he'd
just be inviting people to rob him .... unless he were Phil Hellmuth, perhaps

I guarantee Hellmuth would call this. Hed be in there like a fcuking shot with one of his patented all in shoves where the chips spill about everywhere
