Ignoring all the crazy math, as the big stack (and assuming he plays well postflop) I think Nath can do whatever the [censored] he wants UTG with whatever cards he wants if he thinks he has the edge over the table.

If he has to call a shortstacks all-in with 47s, then whatever, chalk that one up to shania/metagame. Next time he raises utg with AA, the bb can push 33 into him again and its whiz-bang-ship-holla-pwned.

If he gets reraised, he's said repeatedly he has no problem gambling (or maybe he can fold) and he can still chalk it up to shania/metagame/whizbang.

No matter what happens in the hand, if Nath is observant he can use the outcome to his advantage since he's not going to put any kind of significant part of his stack in danger, while he can still stop those blinds from helping someone else. Win, lose, or draw, as the uber-huge stack and possibly the best player at some of these tables he can use the hand to set up future plays, image, and possibly gain some chips in the process.

It just seems that with a ton of chips, the cards become less important than psychological dominance over the table, which can be accomplished by raised whatever the [censored] he wants UTG then saying "hey I'm [censored] crazy don't mess around or I'll pwn you with random [censored]".
