playing big stack with 2 shorties

[dfscott]

I got into a strange situation the other night when I had the big stack on the bubble, but instead of just one shorty, there were two:

me: 5500
medium: 1300
shorty1: 600
shorty2: 600

Now, the wierd thing is that this was at level 2.

First, should I just coast my chip advantage to level 4 before applying pressure since there is not much to gain by stealing?

FWIW, I did coast and ended up on level 4 with the something like:

me: 5400
medium: 1600
shorty1: 500
shorty2: 500

At this point, should I start pressuring everyone, or should I just go after middle guy? Or should I just pressure middle and shortyX once the other shorty folds?

As you can tell, I suck at playing the big stack...
