This has been a see-saw battle with the 3 of us left. it has been very aggressive and everyone has had the chip lead, and been the short stack. how does the fact that there's a short stack come into play here? do i make a smaller raise, is the all-in good, or can i fold here?

orbit shmorbit.

I don't think he is going to get blinded away without a fight.

You cannot afford sitting scared for two orbits either.

The probability of the BB having a hand that he wants to risk most of his stack with is low. Just push, don't be results oriented.

thanks! i pushed, BB had AJ, I lost. just making sure it was correct because it seems lately alot of times i have been gambling it up and costing myself $. but ya, this is the right play in the long run. i think the fact that the shortstack said something along the lines of "sweet, now i'm 2nd and didn't have to do anything" made me think.
