So, I folded this because of the two tiny stacks. If either of the other stacks has more than 1000 chips I push and pray. I am now starting to second guess that line of thinking and managed to convince myself that the big stack (who was a very good player who was a little loose with his pushes) would call and bust me.

Final Pot: t900
Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
SB has 3d 2s (two pair, eights and threes).
Button has Qh Ac (one pair, eights).
Outcome: SB wins t900. </font>
Focus: Basically I folded into the money and placed second. Was this a huge wuss play? Is this ever an apprpopriate line of thinking. The Big stack would likely have called any all in from either small stack.
