I know im in the minority here, but I dont mind the bubble not bursting. We know that BB is taking this hand to the river via preflop push or stop-n-go. No reason for us to help bust him here when we have a dominating stack.

That said, as it played out, I am pushing preflop here after BB pushed and BTN called. BTN will fold to our push unless he is an idiot or has a monster (which I really doubt, because he has shown weakness twice by just calling hoping to bust the bubble). After we push, BTN folds in disgust because we didnt cooperate with his plan to bust the bubble.

So if shorty wins:
Hero T6831
BB T2415
Button T3124
player#4 T2630

If we chop with shorty(best case):
Hero T8038
BB T1208
Button T3124
player#4 T2630

Even if BTN calls and scoops(2nd worst case):
Hero T3707
BB T0
Button T8663
player#4 T2630

And worst case BB scoops and BTN scoops:
Hero T3707
BB T2415
Button T6248
player#4 T2630


This may not be the perfect situation for this play, but when I have the big stack on the bubble, I really like to have the other three get into a foldwar trying to make the money while I slowly bleed them all down to nothing. This leads to a large amount of wins. Plus, you should see the chat box when I fold instead of calling a tiny push from SB into my BB.

Better example would be something like this:
Hero T10000
SB T600
UTG T2200
BTN T2200

Hero post BB 300, UTG folds, BTN folds, SB raise to 600, hero folds.

No sense busting the bubble, when we can keep pressuring the other two stacks for their tournament life.
