Do you think the average party 22'er is good enough to realize they do not want a confrontation with me because of the SB's stack size? Or do they not care because they are in the money?

Huh? Of course they want a confrontation. To simplify a little, +2 buyins if they win, -1 if they lose.

I'm not sure how to define "wanting a confrontation", but button should not want a confrontation here.

Yeah, I thought about this more, and you're right, since shorty's pretty short.
But given the payouts, it's nowhere near as clear as when you are on the bubble. It doesn't take much of a perceived edge for button to push.
Had some math to back this up, but the stupid forum timed out, and I don't feel like re-creating it.
