You are a huge stack, chip leader by the next guy by 50%. 40BB, next guy 28BB. We are 29 players remaining (27 players gets paid, ICM is high over 3X buyin for min cash), short stack is 1.4bb. Most players are in the range of 5-7BB
Shortest stack is sitting to your left. Folds to you in the SB. Would you fold the blinds to the shortest stack? Hand is Q3o.
I felt I have an incentive to keep the shortest stack alive. Each orbit I am picking up 3-6BB from the other players. At this stage of the game min raising, playing the big stack bully can really get more chips in the next 5-6 hands.
As a pure EV play, of course it is to raise. But long term play do you call or fold and min raise the next bunch of hands?
