Who do you think is playing more incorrectly. The guy shove/folding v a 2.5x with 20% of his range when we have AJo or the guy flatting 10% and shoving 20% v a 2x when we have AJo. Also in this situation I think flatting A7o is quite terrible based on positions and how atrocious A7o flops v the opening range we have here. However if they are flatting crappy Ax when we minraise then yes ofcourse we should be minraising because they will have a difficult time offsetting the disadvantage of having crappy Ax OOP pre-flop. They should really be 3b or folding a hand like this v our opening range. Hands that should be flatting are hands we will NOT besides some combos of Jx.
Answer that and you should your answer.
I'm not saying this 100% black and white but this is the closest to correct I can come up with. If someone can come up with a really good argument for playing it differently then I would love to hear it.
edit: About this being 100% black and white. I mean in HU poker 9bb-15bb situations are SO unsolved that is going to be impossible to know what is 100% right. Now if you take this statement and apply it to a situation like this where everyone has say an M of 10 in a donkament the situations are going to be impossible to solve. The big problem with how most people learn short stack poker(M < 10) is everyone learns how to shove/fold and stops right there. There is SO many possiblities when stacks get to this depth.
Once again I will state you should look at decisions based on what is most +eV, not what is +eV as I think this is the most important thing for everyone to come out of this thread with.
