Default Re: $22, ITM, AK, giant stack conundrum

Wait.

I don't consider him to be weak-tight.

He's worse than that. He's weak-loose.

He'll play a tremendous amount of hands, and play them very passively.

Specifically here, I was putting him on:
66+, K9o+/KTs+, A2o+, JTs/JQo.

The reason I hesitated was because of the short stack, but as soon as I realized the shorty wasn't in any imminent danger (<1BB, so forth), I knew I had to take the +chipEV, and that it probably wasn't going to be one of those situations where its +chipEV but -$EV.

If I double up here, I'm ~3300, he's ~4000, and we have a tiny stack to push around between us.

But if I folded, the possibility of shorty doubling up from the loose giant stack and becoming an actual threat to me was real. If he did double up, he'd be 1200ish vs. my 1500 -- I'd probably have to drop the lower end of my shorty calling range, giving him tremendous FE.

And then typing all of this... I think of how people find the $22s to be ridiculously easy, and beat them 16 tabling on their lunch break. sigh. So on a side note, am I giving way too much thought into this level?
