Do you make all decisions regardless of tournament considerations?

He's a 3-1 favorite over a random hand, which is apparently what he read Hoyt for. If he wins he has a massive chip lead and a great shot to roll into 1st. If he folds he's still in OK shape but he goes back to having his blind run over by Hoyt every round.

So Hoyt rolled into 1st with his monster chip lead? I agree that Hoyt will continue to push, but as the other dominant stack at the table, I would wait to be the aggressor. Potentially someone else will risk their tournament life against him and take away his power.
He wasn't in "OK" shape if he folded. He was still 2nd in chips by a long shot IIRC, and just behind Hoyt. That is great shape at that point as well.
This is similar to the Jack Strauss story where he dominated the final table and afterward said his only mistake was playing KK for a monster pot preflop. He said he would have had a better chance of winning by chipping away at his opponents.
