I am not qualified to disagree..and I am most certianly not trying to pile on.
But it seems to me that the "closet peek" assumes that the BG either does not hear you coming...or has lousy reactions...neither is probably a safe assumption.
I get a mental picture of "peeking" into the barrel of his weapon
And I would hate to have him chasing me (shooting) as I try to create that distance..or worse yet...start shooting through the walls as Pat suggests.
And I agree the what to do if he doesn't come out question bothers me.
At my skill level I would lean towards tossing a grenade into the closet
