Given the blinds and the stacks it wont last long.

The likely scenarios are:
1. One small stack doubling thru the big stack - now its 4000/4000/3500/2000
2. The short stacks collide one is elimanated and the other one doubles us
5500/4000/4000
3. Big stack doubles takes out shortie
7500/4000/2000

The option of big stack just getting the blinds until someone is blinded off will only happen if both the short stack are bad bubble players

Out of the 3 scenarios only the 3rd one will maintain your lead over the short stack
I'm not saying I'm going inactive, I'm saying I'm not going to call a raise (let alone a push) from the bigstack without a big advantage. I'm still happy to pick on the small stacks, and may even try to steal blinds off the bigstack with a good hand depending on reads.
Just playing to improve.
