Doesn't matter a whole lot whether he goes with any two or not, considering you have 34o. It is pretty close to zero $EV-wise.

I'd probably fold regardless of the stack sizes of the other two players, but in this case, I would especially fold. Especially if big stack was aggressive, since if you lose, big stack will be able to mercilessly pwn the 3 of you.

The equity of 43o over a random hand - translated to odds - is 1:1.85 against.
You are getting 1:2.22 pot odds.
To maximize your amount of chips, you should call.

But I think with a relatively small (yet positive) EV (+80.59), you should fold anyway if you think you have enough edge over the field.

More psychological than a math problem when it's on the bubble. It really depends on how aggressive all the players are. The more aggressive they are, the more you should call.
