Let me put in a theoretical scenario, to see if anything gels. Forgive the vagueness of this hand description, there is a point here.

Hero is in an MTT, and we are within sight of the bubble. Hero makes an obv button steal with non-stellar cards. Let's say the BB calls the raise, and has at least as many chips as hero. Hero flops a draw and makes a 1/2 pot c-bet, and Villain puts hero all-in.

1) What is the weakest draw the hero should call with, assuming about 2 to 1 pot odds.
2) If doubling up makes hero the table big stack during the prime blind-stealing hour, should hero be willing to lower calling standards in this spot, and by how much?

Does that clarify the original question?

1/ A flush draw.
2/ You might be willing to call with an openender. Maybe a gutter and two overs depending on the board and what your overs actually are. I think you're giving up too much if you call with less than that.

It wasn't unclear to begin with. This is not a metagame tradeoff though. This is simply a question whether you will take the worst of it now because you feel that you will gain more from future hands. You could call it "implied blindstealing".
