I've been in this situation a couple times and have not been sure what the correct play is.
Let's say it's a Party $10+1 SNG and it's down to 4 players.
A (5000)
B (2200)
C (500)
D (300)
The blinds are 150/300 and D is all-in as the big blind. You're player C and have 350 left after posting the small blind. A folds and B raises enough to put you all-in. What do you do if you have a crappy hand.
If you fold and B wins, you're ITM with very little chance of improving.
If you fold and D wins, neither you or D can survive another round of the blinds, but D has more chips and a slight advantage.
If you go All-In and B wins, you and D are eliminated but since you started with more chips you get 3rd place.
If you go All-In and you win, you're ITM and have 1300 chips with a good chance of improving.
If you go All-In and D wins the main pot and B wins the side pot, you go out in 4th place.
If you go All-In and D wins the main pot and you win the side pot, neither you or D can survive another round of the blinds, but D has more chips and a slight advantage.
So, do you go all-in even with a 72o or do you still want some sort of decent hand to go all-in with?
