Test your intuition (three handed SNG play)

[Bozeman]

Suppose you have made it to threehanded in a NL SNG (prizes 50%,30%,20%). Suppose the stacks are 2K, 3K, and 5K (before putting in blinds) and the blinds are 250/500. You pay the bb. After the button folds, the small blind goes allin.

1) Which stack sizes for you (bb) and him (sb) should you be tightest with? Loosest?

2) How tight should you be?

3) Should you be tighter when you out chip him or when he out chips you?

4) Obviously you need to be tighter when neither you nor the SB is the 2K stack than when one of you is since 3K chips are at stake instead of 2K (you are getting 7:5 odds instead of 5:3). Do relative tightnesses (compared to proper ring game play, for example) rank differently than absolute tightnesses?

5) Suppose you are twice as good as the other two players, how do things change (vs. all three equal)? (I have a mathematical definition of "twice as good", but you are welcome to use any definition you like, as long as you state it.)
