This is the opposite of the post where some1 mentioned they couldn't push ATC with a massive chip lead.

bubbled 3 or 4 games in the last few days where the massive chip leader played too passively.

For example on one I think blinds were around 200 / 400 and chip leader had around 6.5K in SB and BB has 1200 (might even have been less). He folded. Next 4 or 5 orbits he folded. Now even if he doesn't want to push with nothing he must have woke up with a Q or K surely?

Then short stack got a few double ups I lost my shoves and I was out. Didn't think much of it first time then it happened again and again.

I nearly put in the chat panel "how can you fold?" but just felt it wasn't the right thing to do.

A big stack was pushing me around today and as frustrating as it was to constantly fold my BB with nothing over and over I knew it was the right play by him. I then doubled up through him and he stopped doing it only to start doing it again once I lost a few pots and was short again. Fair play to him.
