Do I push this hand??

[Beck]

The two big stacks had been raising every hand so far while on the bubble, so my hand would be best pre-flop the majority of times.
Should I push, or is that taking the "playing for first" thing too far? I know, that if I fold, then 3rd is the best I can get.

UTG calls t300, Hero ??

SB is allin on this hand and as long as SB doesn't win you get at least 3rd. You should at least call to help make sure this happens.

Calling or pushing probably won't end up being any different, but pushing does slightly increase the chance you will face 3 opponants rather than 2. This gives you a better chance to win, but it also give SB a better chance to win, which gives you a better chance to lose.

I guess push. Just don't fold.
