Default mini) Steps, the bigstack, the equal stack, and me?

Mini - Steps, Top two move up, third gets to play again.

BigStack 7000
---------------
ME 1500
---------------
EqualStack 1500
---------------

Assuming the blinds are 100/200
and big stack has a nasty habit of pushing in the SB when you are BB, and folding on the button -

What range are you pushing on the Button?
What range are you calling an all-in from Big stack from?
What range are you pushing in SB?
Are you limping any hands?


Also any kind of general strategy suggestions would be helpful.

What range are you pushing on the Button?
--- AT/9s+,KQs/us,66-77+ (a bit weak/tight maybe, but with his monster stack, he's calling too many hands here. you need something that can hold up against KJ, A7 and the like)

What range are you calling an all-in from Big stack from?
--- not much. AQ/AJs,TT maybe 99+

What range are you pushing in SB?
--- just about anything!! suited 78+, connected 9T+,QT+, K9+, any ace or PP

Are you limping any hands?
--- absolutely not

My answers are the same as Bluefeet's, except that I'm pushing literally anything from the SB. I don't expect this balance of stacks to last long, so I don't think the other equal stack will have time to catch on. Maybe if we go around like this more than 3 or 4 rounds I start folding real trash, but you don't really have a choice -- you're going to be folding your BB to the big stack most of the time, you need to make it up when you're on the SB.

i would push a lot more hands on the button and on the SB and play a little tighter against big stack's pushes. BB really doesn't want to double you up, so he won't be calling marginal hands.
