But I will elaborate. The situation in this particular hand is night and day different from the situation described by Huck Seed in the FTP guide, which I think is what you're referring to for the decision on 3rd st. Huck's argument was based on the fact that even an A23 can be a slight underdog if the board is full of dead cards, and if you have two opponents who are so strong that they are raising back and forth, it's almost certain that 3rd st will get capped if you play. That's a big difference (putting in 4 SB in a multiway pot) compared to this hand (putting in 1 SB in a HU pot vs. a short stack who may be desperate). Even if you were on the tournament or final table bubbles here, you're giving up a lot of cEV and tournament equity by folding to a significantly shorter stack.
