Short stack is about to go out. I was probably in a bad situation against SB. I wanted to play the short stack AIPF with this hand. Not the SB. That is why I didn't go all in.

[/ QUOTE ]Like I said, unless the SB is a muppet, he's shoving ATC vs. you here. Push or fold.

Wow...I'm glad I don't play sngs anymore. If, in fact, only the worse players at the $6.50s don't know to shove any two here, you sng players are in trouble.

When I left the $109s at party in late November, there were very few capable of shoving any two here.

[/ QUOTE ]I don't see SB pushing ATC here. BB has 735 left after posting blind. How much FE could SB possibly have? What would be the logic of SB pushing ATC here? Why wouldn't he just let me take BB out without risking crippling his stack?

I don't like shoving here because I want to fold if SB wakes up with a powerful hand. Folding seems better than shoving, but I have a good hand that can put BB out.
