I am currently 4th in chips with T1145 after posting the BB. Tables shortstack pushes UTG+1 for 670. Folded to me with a pair of 3's. Fold or call for a possible coinflip?

What are the blinds. It depends on how much is in the pot and also on reads of the player to an extent. I think generally, calling here is probably -EV but without all the variables it's impossible to tell.

Sorry... Forgot that very important piece of information. Blinds are 50/100.

Get used to giving more info when you post hands. How many players are left? What are their stack sizes? Everything. In this hand, I suppose it doesn't really matter, I'd fold no matter what. But you should give that other info anyways.

I would fold pocket threes here. At the very best you are a coinflip to win the hand and counting all the times where you are dominated by another pair, calling loses money in this position over time. Even if the blinds were larger (150/300) and his pushing range were huge, I would be inclined to fold the threes unless I had a huge stack that could easily take the hit.
