Etiquette or Karma in Tourneys? Y or N?
Short handed after a rebalancing and there is only a BB, no SB with no significant Ante as the money bubble approaches
You're in Late Middle position with 30+ BB
Button has <10 BB but also <20 VPIP
BB has 50+ BB
Folded to you
What's the move?

Bro is trying to get 1 BB when we both have deep stacks around the Money Bubble
...and that 1BB is entirely mine? (Not a single other player has money in the pot at that point)
...and I have him covered and could get salty and just choose to knock him out so he makes $0?
Hands are irrelevant in this spot IMO

I literally do not understand what you are saying here.
Who is "Bro"? How is the money "Yours"? Are you reversing the hand as played?
Hands are never irrelevant. The idea that, if we have 30+BB and we're raising into the chip leader's BB on the bubble, our hand is irrelevant is completely absurd.
Maybe you should be clearer on asking the question you actually want to ask.
Typically with 30 to 40 blinds and short handed my range will be fairly wide. My raise size here would be a min raise.
My calling range though if the BTN jams would be tightish (I might even fold AJo) because my guess is they wouldn't expect to have much fold equity. Similarly if the BB 3 bets because we are near the bubble.
In my experience (and because I look like a tightish OMC) I get a lot of folds pre-flop and on the flop because they think I am not raising wide.
