Bottom range of steal with as chip leader?

You are the chip leader with 3000 chips. 4 other players remain with 1500 chips each. Blinds are 150/300.

What is the bottom range of hands you can push with?
Or is the correct play to min-raise and play the flop?
Call a re-raise all in or not?

totally depends on the players

usually its somewhere in between

Presuming you'll get called 40% of the time... would u still raise with any two broadway?

Depends, depends, depends, and depends.

There's no "bottom range" in some situations, and others you're not going to stretch things much.

I wouldn't mini-raise and create the illusion of fold equity for your opponents. I want them to know if they're playing a hand against me, it's 100% of the time going to be for all of their chips.

i think that if you have the biggest stack with 4 left, you are very very unlikely to be called 40% of the time.

I think you are right. I'm not sure where 40% came from...
