Default Short stack in BB facing raise and call

This is from the 20 rebuy which normaly does not belong here but I am posting here due to the two villains. First raiser is GB2005 and caller is bjolla. We are at the final two tables and I am in second to last place or so (around 16 left).

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t8000 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

CO (t151396)
Button (t368714)
SB (t184188)
Hero (t54135)
UTG (t139120)
UTG+1 (t57760)
MP1 (t492270)
MP2 (t130088)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t21000</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls t21000, <font color="#666666">Hero folds</font>.

GB2005 has been very aggressive lately, and bjolla has shown a willingness to call big bets from him (and others). They have had a few big confrontations recently and GB took chip lead away from bjolla.

I didn't beleive I could isolate, and didn't think I would be in good shape against 2 opponents. Can I justify a shove here?

Default Re: Short stack in BB facing raise and call

i would shove.

1) given your description of the players, their stacks, and the action before you, you've gotta have an equity edge over their ranges. and clearly given your very small stack you must take any edge you can get.

2) there is still a chance that one of them isolates against you, and while this may denote that the isolator has a strong hand, it's still fine for you because of the dead money it creates from the other villain folding.
