I think I would be pot commited if I feel my hand has a chance to win, and at least over 2/3 of my stacks is in.

Some good points here.

I think many people force themselves into pot-comitted situations, even when it's not blind related.

If you're going to make a raise at a pot and it's more than 1/3 your stack, you have to realize that a re-raise will pot comitt you.

If I have 9000, raise the blinds which are 500/1000 to 3000 and get re-raised to 6000, it's either all-in or fold here.

There are players who will simply call and then become pot comitted post-flop if they've even marginally hit their hands since the pot odds will dictate the call.

It's a fine line to balance between risk of ruin, pot odds and being pot committed in the late stages of NL tournament play.

to me theres no such thing as pot commit... if i'm on the river and the pot is huge and i KNOW i'm beat, i will only call if the bet is tiny and i want to see what my opponent's exact hand is. other than that... i dont think its ever acceptable to call for commitment.
