Default Re: FT, survive or fight?

Yes I am the small blind. And the previous hand the guy one to my right went out so I didn't have to pay the big blind.

My thinking was that even with a really tight range for the other short stack, tripling up would take me back into the race. I'm really not a math guy, but running a tightish range against my holding in pokerstove, I get like 55% for the other shortstack, 19% for me and 26% for the random hand on the bb. So 19% of the time I triple up, 26% both me and shortie go out, with me ahead of him, and the other 55% when he wins, I still survive like a bit less than half since I beat the bb in the sidepot.

So I get the real question gets down to whether it's worth going out now before anyone else for an about equal chance to triple up.

I'm guessing icm calculations would be faulty since the blinds are so big compared to the small stacks, but I couldn't do them anyways.
