Push w/ 85?
 

Say your getting quite shortstacked, 6-8 BB's. You're in MP3 or CO, holding 85, it's folded to you. Is it a bad idea to push? You have a good chance of stealing the blinds, and most likely 2 live cards if called. If you push w/ something like KT, you'll probably still have the worst hand, and have a high likelihood of being dominated.

Is it more important to take ur chances w/ crap and keep ur stack alive, or wait until you either get a decent hand or get super short stacked?

Sometimes. Depends on how tight the table and the players to your left are, whether it is suited, andhow much if any ante there is.

Also you want a BB who is tight, doesn't understand pot odds calls, and has you covered but is not a big stack.
