    first of all, dopey on SB folds...i want to know what you think if he would have pushed here and put me all in.

    3 spots pay, paul doesn't even make the BB in two hands. however, i'm quite short as well. i obviously like the attitude of always playing to win, but what do you think?

    AGAIN if DOPEY had put me all in...NOT FOLDED.

    i guess you can say it depends on the read i have on him, but i know if it was me or anybody playing these types of SNGs in this situation SHOULD push any two.

    thanks!

    I don't see how you can call. Even if he's pushing with any 2 it's -$EV to call according to SNGPT. Think about it this way- even if you double up, your stack would still be very low and odds are you'd end up in 3rd.
