your first point and the second seem to contradict each other. what do we gain by rapeing the bubble? what do those blinds gain us if there is a shorty around? nothing imo. smidges of equity since having a huge stack itm doesn't matter because were done once were itm and are never getting more than 20% of the prize pool, which is why i hate these. no fun , no huge +EV spots.

I wasn't specific enough in my first two points. In your example, everyone is pretty much freerolling, so yes, shoving into the BB would not be worthwhile. What I was talking about in my second point was situations where there's a microstack who's already folded, but you are a shortstack. For example, 200/400/25, you have a 500 chip utg, you're at SB with 1000, BB also with 1000, folded to you. It can be worthwhile to shove in that spot to buy yourself insurance (your smidge of equity) since the micro is not guaranteed to bust. The good part about this is that, theoretically, the BB should fold all hands, so usually you buy yourself another round, plenty of time for others to bust. Make sense?
Also, I hope these attract all the fish, they are proving very profitable so far!
