Is the right play to push the AQ out to get the short stack heads up?

Or smooth call with KK and check it down/fold to a bet if an A flops?

Re-raise

He has a massive chip lead. He has very little incentive to have people get knocked out at this stage.

Yeah, AA maybe you could call but you have to protect your kings there, especially since Gold's advantage is more pronounced the longer the tight stage lasts.

I like the reraise. If he has a smaller PP, you don't want Ax coming in and taking the pot away. You want those chips, or hand them back to the short stack and get them later. No reason to give up EV to ensure someone busts when you have half the entire chips in play.

Good reraise.

if the prize jumps are big enough, as the real big stack you don't want to knock out the shortstack. I don't play many tournaments but that's just my theory. But yeah reraise
