$15+1 turbo on PS. Four players remaining. 300/600 blind with 50 ante. I'm UTG with 2300 stack and KJo. BB has 640 remaining after putting in the 600. Is this an auto all-in spot? The odds of one of the two bigger stacks having an Ace is about 30% and they may not call with a weak ace. I think I definitely have a +EV by going all in. But potentially handing a short stack third for free is not too appealing. I believe that I played the hand incorrectly. I raised to 1200 which would commit the BB. The SB calls and the BB folds obviously just playing for third. The flop comes with a queen and two small cards and the SB bets into me. Now I'm forced to fold with over half my stack in the pot or worse, draw to maybe 3 outs. Wasn't all bad I did stumble in for third!!

I would push here. If you don't want to push, folding is alot better than betting with a plan of folding the flop if you miss.
