Default too early to push?

short stack is pretty weak. always mini raised weak hands. called on the river with just ace high. seems pretty stupid.
but is this a text book isolation?

im not sure if this is the best play. i play TT JJ AQ AK the same way as button and sb. if they're feeling frisky or have a read on you, you may run into trouble. this early on in the tourny, i just call here cuz ur getting great odds for set value

Too many players to push here. Someone might have a hand and call, where you will be either in a coin flip or dominated.

Just call and try to hit your set....or bet out strong on a nice flop....but don't push it all-in here.....it's a huge overbet and you'll only get called by better hands usually.

i only did this because i knew the reraiser was weak. i figured the other 2 limpers would fold since they showed weakness. the reraiser wouldnt cripple me if he did win.

--He calls and turns over A4o
