What is your thought process in calling off short stacks with mid pairs?
You are holding 30bb in late position cutoff/button. You are mid/late in the tournament but not yet in the money. Blinds are big fairly large lots of players are in the sub 10BB range and they can just playing push/shove.
What is your position on calling these sub 10BB shovers? Most of the time they are holding AX, any pocket pairs.
Usually it seems like it is a +EV move, but easily you can get dominated or at best a flip. By not calling you have a better chance to steal chips.
