Instaship!
However if you wanna get really mathematical/technical you can prove that this would be a bad call given 1) That you are not bankrolled properly for the event and 2) You are +EV in the tournament.
If someone wants the details ask but I got them intuitively and haven't the time to put them into type. Or if you can think for yourself it follows on from the Kelly Criterion.

Posted by SCDossett: you would have to have a very high EV in that situation to overcome your almost 80 percent preflop advantage to triple up.
This makes no sense whatsoever. Care to explain? Your 80% preflop advantage is basically the same thing as EV, expressed differently. That is basically the definition of EV. You're saying that you would have to have high EV to overcome your high EV??????? Huh????????
