Some good points here.

I think many people force themselves into pot-comitted situations, even when it's not blind related.

If you're going to make a raise at a pot and it's more than 1/3 your stack, you have to realize that a re-raise will pot comitt you.

If I have 9000, raise the blinds which are 500/1000 to 3000 and get re-raised to 6000, it's either all-in or fold here.

There are players who will simply call and then become pot comitted post-flop if they've even marginally hit their hands since the pot odds will dictate the call.

It's a fine line to balance between risk of ruin, pot odds and being pot committed in the late stages of NL tournament play.
