A6 with 3 left behind you means there is only a 30% chance you are going to get called by a hand that is ahead of you.

The problem is that I mostly don't want to be called here even by a worse hand. There are two short stacks and if the shorter of them doubles up on this hand it will be at the taller one's expense, thus keeping them both very short. If the SB pushes next hand, BB is almost certain to call. If SB folds, I can outfold him because the blinds are not going up for another 6 hands. Is SB pushes and wins, BB will have to go all-in with any 2 cards against my BB on the next hand. Also the big stack is Ginormous, and as such his calling standards may have loosened quite a lot. I have not had time to establish whether this is the case because up until two hands ago he was a medium stack. However...IF his calling standards have indeed become very liberal, I am probably better off trying to outlast one of the other shorties.
Oh and finally, I don't have much folding equity as BB is under a lot of presssure to call my push if it's folded to him. If he folds, suddenly he's the 2nd shortest stack.
