Default short stack on BB facing min raise

Near the end of an STT, 3 to 5 players remaining, I am the short stack at about 5-6 BB. I am in the BB(that left me with 4 BB), with some mediocre like K3o or Q6o. The button or CO with >13BB raise to 2BB, all fold to me, what shall I do here?

The pot odds are good here given that he can raise with anything, probably i'm having 2nd-4th high card against 1st-3rd, so 37-63 chance or better. Shall I call/push/fold here? I guess calling is non-sense, so what range of hands would be a push and what range of hands would be a fold? In history, I pushed with Q6 K3 J7(and all lost) but folded 95 Q3 J2.

Also, is it correct that I should fold with mediocre if BTN/CO raise to 3BB or more?

It's such a broad question, it's hard to give you much real help.

but, basically when you are that short, if you think your range is ahead of the orginal raiser shove.

You can also get a little fancy and do a stop n go if you think will give you more fold equity.

Also, there is a huge difference between being 3, 4 or 5 handed. Each has it's own special attributes to determine whether a hand is a push, fold or a call.

Post some specific hands you are having trouble with. Refer to the FAQ to see what kind of information you should be including in your posts.
