On the button, final 3, everyone short stacked
When at the end of a turbo tournament where everyone is short stack what are your requirements for pushing? Here is an example from earlier today (3rd pays 10.5%, 2nd 15%, and 1st 25% of prize pool):
Villian1 is at seat 1 with 259720.
Hero is at seat 2 with 206940.
Villian2 is at seat 3 with 169340.
The button is at seat 1.
Villian1 posts ante (2000).
SumZero posts ante (2000).
Villian2 posts ante (2000).
Villian2 posts the small blind of 10000.
Villian1 posts the big blind of 20000.

So there is 36,000 in the pot each hand. We have an M of 5.7, chip leader is 7.2, and short stack is 4.7. We are about half way through the level so blinds go up in another 2-3 minutes. What should you do with this hand? More generally what fraction of hands do you play from the button in this situation?
