Default 3 player strategy with low Ms

Live game 3 players remaining, payouts $1100, $700, $400.
Other two good players with calling ranges of most pairs, A8 and above,and KQ possibly.

Blinds 8,000/4,000

BB 120,000
SB 50,000
BTN 40,000

Hero on Button with A6.

1) I usually see this as an easy push but instead would it be more profitable to just push any two into the other short stack each rotation he is BB?

2) Also as getting called by better aces (and not getting called by worse hands probably)is it better to push two medium/high cards here as still likely to have two overs to pairs and unlikely to be dominated?

Basic questions but just want to make sure that I am on the right lines here.

Thanks

I understand the way you think, but your M is tot low to get this advanced in your thinking. Take advantage of your opponents tight calling ranges, and push. The current pot of t12000 will be a massive supplement to your stack.

Your reasoning would be more reasonable if the blinds were 2k/4k.

The distribution of premium hands decreases the more short handed you get. You can't worry about a bigger Ace here. It's just a question of can you get one of them all in?

And the more you do this, the larger will your stack get, and the more of a threat will you be to the bigstack.

Sorry you got called by a bigger ace or pp. I push 70% of my hands here.
