Wild Satellite situation

so how low would you let yourself get, or how good a hand do you want to have?

This is kinda complicated...first, you figure out your chances of folding in from here (if you are 10 of 11 it's basically the odds of a shortie slightly ahead of you finding QQ+ and going broke) before you bust - let's say they're 50% to make it really simple. Then, you take A6 vs. a random hand (55%-ish.) That makes it mildly +EV to call in a vacuum, but you know he'll push every hand from this point out. Assume you get unlucky and have one 60% vs. random hand in the next 12 with 6 at your table - you are trading a 55% chance of 20 BB with 12 hands and a 60% chance of 16 BB, both of which make you the non-short stack.

Or, you just eyeball it and say 'I'll pick up a > A6 hand in the next few orbits so I'll fold', whichever.
