I could have easily selected B in the begining and C was removed... Then I'd go back to A using your theory.
My point? same odds.

Check out "alexg"'s link.
Short answer? In your example, would you rather choose just A, or BOTH B and C, knowing that one of the losing choices (between B and C) would be revealed? In revealing a losing choice, you are gaining information. A still has a 33.333...% chance of winning. I'd go with the other 66.66...% switch, personally.
