Hero?

This was the third hand at the combined 'final table' and Villian was at the other table the entire time so I have zero reads. Shorty was moved to my table a few hands before the combine, but I'm not too worried about him.

Allin. You are trying to isolate and he won't let you get away with it. With a dry sidepot, you may not get much action postflop if you are ahead.

You don't totally mind isolating anyway. You are probably 2-1 or 4-1 ahead of CO, so you could lose to him.

Poooosh it.

Also are you only playing 1 table at a time. If so you should have the second table of this open while playing and be paying attention to the other players on it.

push regardless in this spot, calling will take ~20% of your stack so is clearly not an option.

Push this, short stack all-ins ranges are much wider than a typical player, though the fact that it was UTG is a little worrisome.
