My only real problem with your play was the last hand. As someone else pointed out, clearly your strategy was to let the shorty bust. He would've been all-in again the next hand pre-flop, so I really don't like your play there.

My strategy was not to fold into the money, my strategy was about trying to maximize my EV which just happened to involve a lot of folding. On the last hand I decided to call and try and help knock out the shorty, I explained my reasoning here in a previous post, although it may have been a mistake

Those spots suck though and we all know it. I'd be interested to see the numbers on the AT hand vs. an "any two" raise from the 2nd stack.

Agasint "any two" its a clear call. I didn't put him on any two since he should expect to get a call from one of us the vast majority of the time. Therefore he needs a hand with some showdown value. Against even the top 50% of hands its a pretty poor call ICM-wise.
