Obviously you don't need to play for your stack here, but I think the basic idea is that you need to determine whether it's worth it or not to put any chips in, and if you decide it is, then it's worth it to commit your whole stack.

Why? You have some dead chips in there which are worth having. If the new chips are 50/50 you should want as few of them in there as possible, but as long as the dead chips aren't insignificant you shouldn't fold. What significant is in this case depends on your advantage over the field. I guess if you thought you were at a disadvantage to the field you would want those 50/50 chips.

I'm not sure though and I have a related idea for another post which I will make.
