Re: When is Automatic not

Sorry but curtains once had a go at me for folding in a situation like this, for fear of "giving the short stack life", and he was bang on. You cannot fold here if you like money. Sorry to be blunt again, but it really is that simple.
I could only envisage folding here if you were the big stack, or 2nd big stack and big stack was being extremely passive, in order to keep shorty alive.

Normally I would agree with you but in this EXACT situation, I think there is extra incentive to fold here. The fact that there are 3 short stacks played a part in my thinking. A muck would have kept me in 2nd place by a small margin while a push is 70% likely to put me in 4th by a small margin. While the pot odds demanded play, the relative positions could be an overriding factor.
I still think the Stop-n-Go was worth a shot (against this particular player) but I prefer a muck over a push here.
