No reads on this player since I'm multitabling and this is the second hand. I think we can safely assume that if this guy is limp calling from the SB at this level, he is a bad player. What do you do on the flop?

Fold. Second hand, no reads, you've still got most of your stack.

Does anyone feel like his range is really skewed towards weak draws and weaker jacks? It just seems like he has a hand that is scared to play multiple post-flop streets.

i never play DON's but this definitely looks like a weaker J / Draw. he's shoving a Q???
how much does your equity increase by doubling up here in a DON.

hard to word this question but, ICM doesn't include your edge over the field when calculating your equity, how much more of an edge can you push with a double stack compared to an medium stack on the bubble. do you believe a double stack increases your equity more than ICM would determine, based on the edge you would have over the field with a big stack, or are most of the players solid enough that its minimal. not sure if that makes any sense.

If we got all our chips in we would need to be about 65% to win. However, if we call and lose we will still have 400 chips. So I guess we need to win a little less as we will still have some equity in the tournament. Without doing the calculation, I would think we would probably have to win 60-65% of the time.
Having a big stack stack gives you much more freedom to shove marginal hands on medium stacks. These are typically hands you have to fold when the stacks are even since your bubble factor is MUCH larger against a similar size stack.
Pinning down this value is pretty much impossible, but let's say it's worth 1-3% ROI.
