So BB is sitting out for a while.. I pushed a bit with strong holdings until my stack, as you can see above, was now bigger than BB to outlast him in "folding war" (just fold until ITM and shove only premium first in sth like TT+, AKs) until he is out and I get 100% ITM.. Is this strategy ok or super weak/nitty? Obviously I don't do this when I'm BS or 2nd stack but I have much more chips than 3rd stack..

So if I follow this strategy.. Both hands below are folds

it depends what the other 2 players are diong. you are pushing into the sitting out BB, so you have FE. its just a question of whether the other 2 are going to spite call u wide or if they are going to purposely fold to the BB to keep him alive and abuse you.

if these are random unknowns i would probably shove both hands.

But if the BS was in the BB both would be folds.
