Where are you getting these numbers? You are just making them up as far as I can tell.

It doesn't matter what he has or what you have: if you stack ratios are 10:1 or greater you call w (almost) ATC, and you certainly should be pushing w any two if you are first in HU vs his bb.

1. Often times in these situations you are essentially giving the short stack a FREE double (nearly) up, since the blinds and antes are a HUGE % of his stack, but a small one of yours. Why wouldn't you put him at [least some] risk instead of folding? The risk the short stack has to fade is greater (worse for him) than the added chip equity he gains from the call.

2. You are possibly neglecting to take into account that you get to see all FIVE cards (and therefore no holdem preflop hand is crushing another that much).

3. You are not accounting for the fact that you gain real $EV (for risking chip EV) when someone is eliminated. Obviously this is more of a factor the closer you are to the end of the tournament.
