If you think you have the best hand and you think that gobboboy has outs against you (which he always does when you have a pair of twos), then you should bet. It's not like eliminating these shortstacks will give you immediate improvement, plus there is a sidepot of like 3k that is not insignificant.

If you were at the final table that would be a different story because you earn immediate money by them busting out.
