Re: Possible next step
Yes. One of the things I had in mind was the recent Sklansky CardPlayer article in which he anlayzed going all in heads up. The idea was that if your stack size was small enough in relation to the BB then it could be computed to be a positive expectation play even if your opponent could see your cards and made perfect decisions when calling you. I believe Sklansky assigned a "Power Number" for each hand which determined the over-under for your Stack/Blind ratio.
I don't think such a thing has been done for when there are several players left to act behind you. While knowing the Median Best Hand for the players to act behind you may not solve the problem It may be that combining the Median Best Hand knowledge with the Sklansky Power Number concept might at least give you a good feel for the situation you're in. It may also be a jumping off point for an explicit analysis as you indicate Aisthesis.
Certainly food for thought for those interested in Poker Theory imo.
