Re: 3rd in chips but shortstacked, how to play?
Am I the only one who would consider folding this hand UTG? If you get called you are 50/50 if lucky and 20/80 if unlucky. SOmetimes a small pair will call, but I would think a big pair would call much more often than a small pair. Blinds are ugly enough that the shorter stacks are going to get desperate and fast.
I agree with pushing from button or small blind here. Any maybe as second to act. But UTG I might tighten up and wait. There is a pretty good chance people will be gone by the time you have to post your BB the second time from now.
If I am shorter stacked or not UTG I push.
I await the flame.
