Well, of course you fold that hand. But you can't stay passive -- you are really one of the short stacks. It's hard to give general advice here, but you need to be looking for opportunities to steal the blinds. It's unlikely that you are going to fold into one of the seats.

I don't think I've ever played for a satellite seat, so I didn't push the normal situations that I would. The guy in the big blind was the dominate chip leader, and he was calling a fair amount of bets. So now with only one person left to bust, how would you play? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Fold and it's not even close. SB has a big stack and call call ~12k to get everyone in and BB only has to call ~6k more for the same reason. If MP1 triples up though, you have to steal.
If a big stack prevents you from stealing, you have to adjust and steal either from earlier position or even from the blinds if the situation's right. IMO, you have one move when you can not fold into the seat and you <10BB left and no other immediately-in-danger short stack, and that is: PUSH!!
