    Situation:

    $11 MTT- You have 5600 chips and are 42nd out of 56 places. Blinds are 300/600 with a 50 ante. M=4. 54 places pay. You get K9 offsuit UTG+2. Folds to you. Huge stack to your left is slightly loose and will call with all pairs, all broadway. Do you push?

    I've recently come across this situation multiple times. Wait until bubble bursts to push, since short stacks have <2000 chips? Push with any two since M=4? Is K9 even worth pushing since it is likely to be dominated?

    Your thoughts please.

    Obviously things have been going bad might as well get paid then push with a marginal hand in early position. I assume you havent had better spots to push.
