Default small pockets on BB

Hi
final table, online tournament. 4 players left I'm small stack, with about 25000, blinds 2000/4000. MR BigStack raises to 8000, nextplayer folds, button with about 43000 calls, I have 44 what do I do? Mr BigStack plays about any connector, any suited and any K or A. and he calls everybodys allin if hi is in the pot.

Go all-in. If the BB is 4000, 8000 is a weak raise, the caller knows that BigStack is loose aggressive, so neither player may be too strong. Good chance of taking the pot down there, and I don't think both players would call in any case, in which case you're a coinflip with much better odds than that.

Fold, there is less than a 0% chance that they both fold. You have 6bb, but wait until you're 1st in, you're behind both of them.

Also depends on your reputation. If you're conservative, then all-in is great. If you've been aggressive, then folding makes no sense. You want to go heads up.

Fold - original raiser is getting ~3:1, and button might very well call/push as well (although the only real options for him are fold and push).

all the stacks and payouts would help, but my comments are assuming: a) there isnt a big jump between 4th and 3rd in payouts and b) if you shove, at least one of the two players will fold.


if that holds true, go all in. i dont see how you can fold as the shorty here when youd have HUGE overlay if you got one caller...i dont think both call a shove enough to make this a fold, as big stacks range is reasonably wide and im sure button knows that enough to call a minraise and fold to a reraise behind.

this isnt enough reason for me to fold in itself...id need to know that both players are pretty likely to call a shove for me to pass on this pot with the given situation and stack
