OK, I think I understand that enough. If I may ask another question; for the most part, when you are on the bubble and there are smaller stacks than you, are you mostly just waiting for them to bust and playing it very safe with what you call all-ins with? I'm sorry because I know this is very broad, but I'm wondering if there is at least a slightly easy answer, assuming that you are both under 5 M but you are ahead. Is this an answerable general question? Throw stones if not...

The best way to answer a general question is to answer it "generally". So generally speaking, you want to look at the gaps in stack value. In OP's hand, you see that the shortest stack has only 295 and the other one (~800??). This is why folding QQ may be correct. If the stacks were more like 16oo, 1400, 1300, and you have 1600, then folding QQ is wrong. So its not so much "who has the bigger stack" but its more about the stack differences.
