This is a great thread. TP, I believe I'm following your logic, but think I have to disagree. Especially since this guy is short stack, I'm going to assume that I'm a favorite, and am going to win the hand. Doing so brings me to one player closer to winning overall, and gives my chip stack a healthy boost. The lost opportunity of not doing this strikes me as being greater than the opportunity gained by further bullying my the table later on. And if I'm going to bully, I'd sure rather do it with QQ than with an inferior hand.

I'll say this. If I push my short stack in from early position, and the chip leader lays down QQ -- I'd be a very happy player indeed.

.. you also can't assume the shortstack has only 2xBB... theres a good chance that a short stack at 1k/2k could have something like 10-12k chips. i'd rather take my chances with QQ and move on to the final table...

however, considering your scenario, folding QQ is probably a better idea, considering the pot is so small.
