3 Handed Home game on the bubble. Blinds 8/16. SB wants to go home and should go all-in with anything. BB is weak tight preflop.
Hero (T100) on the button with Ks Qd
SB (T40)
BB (T220)
Being first to act, I was pretty sure that SB would push all in with anything, quite likely with any K or Q. And BB with a huge chip lead would call with a relatively large ranges of hands. After a bit of thought, I folded my KQ. SB went all in with Q4 and BB called with something like 78, I can't remember exactly. My KQ would've been the best hand.
So, after the BB took the 40 chips that were supposed to be mine, it occured to me that I could've pushed all-in and taken SB's chips with a strange sort of isolation play by going "UTG all-in." Was I right to fold the button and let the small stack tangle with the big stack? Or should I have pushed all-in from the button, and let the SB call me and the BB fold, cuz in the end, those 40 chips woulda helped me out for heads up.
