Re: Chip Leader, purposely keeping low stack in game.
[ QUOTE ]
I think it's a pretty standard strategy (the bigger the blinds are, the better). Leaving a guy with 30 chips is definitely worth it if you can pick up much more than 30 chips in the next orbit by stealing.

I respectfully dissagree.
Usually by te time you are keeping some on the bubble the blinds are getting high. And to allow him to stay in, you are giving him the blinds.
You are employing this strategy to steal blinds from the middle stacks. If you get caught stealing against a real hand the middle stack doubles up and you are in trouble.
AND if the shorty doubles up against the middle stack he becomes a player again.
Bubble time is crap shoot time to some extent.
I say get rid of the shorties.
