Re: 3rd in chips but shortstacked, how to play?
[ QUOTE ]
Saying if you were shorter stacked youd push doesnt make any sense - if you were 1700 would you push? But the only time it matters that you aren't 1700 is when the 3000 stack calls you, because all the rest are equal to or smaller than that.
There's no way I'm folding a hand like 88 when the blinds represent 1/4 of my stack.

Might not be right but i disagree it makes no sense -- point is not how much it takes someone to call - most of my opponents are in allin mode - the point is i have enough chips to have some staying power and they dont. if i have 1300 chips i dont have any staying power in this context
i dont think its as obvious to push as you suggest.
not necessarily wrong, but not a no brainer.
there are TONS of hands that are at least a coin flip to 88. and when others are this short stacked you are going to get called by them with that many people left to act.
