Default AJ: facing AI from Short stack

His M is down to 2, so I figure we are a head his range.

Should we cold call, or raise to isolate?
If we call, are we folding to a reraise?

Not sure if this is materially +EV with 3 big stacks behind who might just look you up with a wide range.

So My hands would shake but I'd fold and wait for the next.

M(pot)+2M(MP1)+5M(you) = 8M in the pot and the guys behind need 5M. There are *three* guys behind.

Suppose I'm the BB, I think wow I need to put only 4M in an 8M pot, it's 2:1 or something along those lines...

Another way I'd look at this -- think about it as an SNG (where the payout is different), would you do this kind of a play there?

Why would we think about it like an STT when it's an MTT?
