Im folding here buts thats just me.

I'm calling. He could be pushing a lot with only 3BB. I could see a push with a weak Ace where you're a huge favorite, for example. In most cases you're probably ahead in a coin flip.

POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH

CHIEFIE123 has 1215 chips and he's calling with 50% of his stack.

Now, if this were $11, I'd say chiefie didn't know his ass from his elbow, but giving him some credit: I'm thinking AKs and PPs higher than yours, and he thinks you're not too smart and will call, nearly tripling his stack when he goes all-in with his hand on the flop. Then again, this _is_ partypoker, haha!

It comes down to reads for me... I'd push if chiefie was a fishy PP player and put him all-in as well.

Otherwise I'd fold and let chiefie take care of the shortstack, so I'd be ITM, and yes, shortstacked, so my course of action would be (considering chiefie put the shortstack out): fold -- push -- push -- push -- pu...

For me, calling isn't an option.
It's either push or fold.
