I dunno if it’s a good idea to steal here from the small stack. Just depends on how he has been playing I guess.
And 5th is really close I think, seeing that he has only T115 left.
I really don’t know though.

I think once you call the raise on 3rd when he plays back at you, you have to realize that you are playing for the rest of his small stack. Either fold right there or hope he was restealing and has a dead pair of 2s and try to pair anything to knock him out.

I don't like to play these hands, even if it's a steal, at this point in the tournament. With only 85 chips in the pot, and given he doesn't have a lot of chips left so they will likely go in, I don't think a steal is a great idea with a 6 showing. I'd like it a lot better if the A was up.

As mentioned, calling the reraise basically commits you to playing it out. And that's not terrible.
