easy fold because of stack sizes with the shorty about to be all-in.

fold, the button is going to get blinded out in just 2 hands, no reason to battle your JJ against the chip leader. if everybody has the similar stack size, it's a push for me.

Since 1st is 4x 4th, where as in a stt 1st is about 3x 3rd does this change our thinking? Can anyone do some math on this? I feel this is pretty close, depending on utg's range.

it really depends on villain, tho i think i'm probably calling this. i realize the short stack is so short, but if the villain is opening super wide all the time i'm not gonna dump this knowing there's a great chance this puts in great chip position to win the whole thing. QQ is a definite call imo.
