Short Stacked
 

blinds are 300/600 and you have T3300

30 spots till money

Folded to you in MP. Is QTo enough to push?

Normal table etc...

I know there are some variables and such, but what are the parameters in these spots?

Are there any good threads on short stack play?

thanks

Depends on table, but most times I would let this go.

I think it's a close fold that can be changed to a push given reads.

Btw, when you say 30 before the money, is that a lot or not? If there are 400 people left, I'd be folding this easily.

I don't know of any good threads, but Harrington's book (the 2nd one "The Endgame" red cover) has a really good explaination and analysis of short stack situations. In this case, your "M" is only 4 - any decent hand folded to you in MP or later is an auto-push. If you let the blinds come around one more time, you're going to get auto-called when you do push, and even if you double-up (from 2500 to 5000) you're still in really bad shape. Harrington advocates pushing with any hand that is folded to you in this situation.
