The bigger concern here is getting AI first. I define leverage as relative stack size, and your stack ain't getting any better each hand. Since you have that first-in vigorish, and likely will not have that chance again, gamble it up. If you get lucky, a double up puts you in pretty good shape relatively speaking. Alternatively, winning the blinds and antes is a huge increase to your stack.
Your "leverage" only gets weaker as you move towards the blinds more players are behind you and your move will look more and more like a desparation move, lowering their hand requirements to call. Thus a move with Dolly P. looks like a bigger hand which could cause tighties to fold better hands. Maybe this what you mean by leverage?
