Let me answer this one for you. That's the beauty about Game Theory. You can completely ignore the table. There is absolutely no reason to bother with ranges, position, folding equity, balance and other fallacies.
Just stick to playing the top 5% of your hands, fold to any sort of aggression and switch to The System(c) once your stacksize falls below 10 BB. If you get lucky and win a coinflip you will be back in the race again.
Last but not least, folding and stalling is +EV in tournaments, because others may go broke while you are snoozing
