Yea -- i dont like this at all players have between 2.5 and 4.5 BBs each just continually shove on them with any decent holding (i disagree with autoshoving since they are so low that you'll likely be called ATC at least from the 1400 stack)

With those types of stacks....I would be willing to open a lot more often against the guy w/ 2600 chips than the short stack.

Depends on the players, but a lot of times a player in second place would be more willing to fold a marginal hand in the hopes to move up the pay scale - wait for short to bust before gambling.

However, for the given stack to blind ratio....you just need to push every edge you can and make the correct push or fold decision preflop.

I think this is a very bad idea. Your chips are far too valuable for you to be "dumping" them to anyone.

Just bust the SS weaker player and have more chips to play the better player HU. You'll have a massive chip lead. If you try to get cute, the good player will end up busting the bad player and getting his chips AND the ones you dumped off to the bad player and now you'll be HU against him with much closer stacks.

Yeah, horrible idea.

I would rather have more chips vs a better player than equal or slightly more than equal chips against a lesser player.
Give a lesser player more chips they get more times to get lucky.
