I heard big dog say in a rebuy he plays standard once he gets a double stack, so I am treating this like a freezeout at this point. Both limpers are running 50/20+, but the CO is running 15/11.

Is it worth risking the 80k stack to try and pick up a 30k stack?

BTW, in a FO I would 3bet get it in if I thought the CO was capable of isoing the limpers light in position. If you decided to play this in a RB, would you just shove instead?

This spot is either shove or fold given stack sizes and the 5x. Even if we min-3b to 900 it would look even stronger and not induce shoves from worse. I fold in both a freezout and in a rebuy with a double stack. CO does not have laggy stats and his 5x makes me think that he is not light very much. Most people who isolate limpers light tend to raise smaller and cb almost every flop. I might shove a range like: 99+, AJs+, AQo+ and expect to get called 90%+ of the time. This is just speculation and it would be very helpful for someone to speculate CO's isolating range and then figure out what range we can profitably 3b shove.
