$5 DON -interesting spot ...or maybe just super standard

[Micro2Macro]

The shorty is like 12/4 or something overall, the big stack to my left is a little loose/passive (26/1) over a few hundred hands. He's done lots of funky stuff like open limp KJo and K5s during the bubble stages. I'm not really sure how happy we would be about pushing, since we could easily get called light by this fish and then the shorty gets off easy. BB is playing way too loose/aggro for DON's..but I don't think we're too worried about him as he hasn't made any weird calls at this stage and I think he may be aware that he needs to be tight here. One thing to keep in mind is we're going to be in trouble soon with the rising blinds of the Turbo structure. If I can recall correctly I believe the blinds were going up next round.

A note on the shorty: he's been very patient and really letting his blinds go so far so he's definately nut camping, but given his stack is near crippled I suppose he'll call with any pair/ace x maybe some high Kx type hands etc.

This is basically the information I gathered while at the table.

How would you guys do here when in the middle of the game? (Without using SNG WHIZ first)

It's probably close, but I'd say ICM says fold here. I tend to push these spots because we may be in a bit of bother if the SB doubles up and we have an un unfoldable opp to our left.

I think the key point is that the shorty is done in one more circuit. Others should realise this too. If you let this go and he doubles up (or even just takes the blinds) it's a missed opportunity.

Therefore, knowing that I almost certainly have a better hand than him, I'm raising 2 * BB. I'd expect the button to get out of the way. If the SB calls (or shoves to stick his last 30 in) we're likely to be well in front. If the BB calls, then great, he'll collude with us to knock shorty out.

The Button coming along is a concern but I don't see that there's much we can do about this. I think folding a hand this strong is a mistake.
