I think he has to call. The 2nd short stack is probably pushing any two to begin with, and he cant afford to transfer any more chip power to him. Granted 74 offsuit is horrible, but if he folds, he will most likely get into a multiway pot with the others checking it down, and that will offer way worse than 2-1 odds with a random hand.

kdmac01 is AUTOCALLING with any 2 here. thefragon01's push IS +cev.. but i sure as hell dont do it. however, its really not that terrible. you fold it to him he has 820 on the button and you are down to 1295, AND hit the bb sooner. hrmmm.. i sure as hell dont raise there, but an argument CAN be made for it. hollla

Well, according to ICM the push is slighly negative EV (-0.6%), if kdmac is calling with any two.

Personally, if I was the dragon, I would have folded, because sooner or later, kdmac is gonna have to go with a random two in the BB before he does. Best to wait and instead of transferring equity by pushing for him to tango with another big stack.
