Re: Keeping the Bubble Alive to gain $EV
I wrote up something longer, but in short, I think it's alright to let the small stack stick around, because you are likely to be able to pick up one more round of steals due to the fact that no one wants to bust here.
(and this is all you would lose, one steals worth of chips)
In fact, I'll often fold to the small stack in the BB if I can in order to keep pushing with my giant stack.
Edit: I don't care if he knows it or not, but to be correct, his calling ranges would have to be sooooo tight, that it could be more profitable for you to employ this tactic. (of course, I'm not sure, but I suppose) So tight to the tune of AA/KK.
