When all the chips are in the middle, any skill difference is irrelevant.
So if SB can get a fold with his 15x then he collects his money and he doesn't have to succeed a lot to be profitable.
I see this a lot with short stacks. They raise ridiculous amounts from the blinds, since thy know that BTNs and COs can steal widely.
And it usually isn't worth BTN's or CO's time to go after them, because the implied odds aren't there.
Easy game.
Well done for making him pay for his folly
