Ax and the short stack

[juris]

I am trying to figure out if this is a leak, incorrect or just poker. All thoughts and rationale appreciated.

You have 10-12 bb remaining as the multi tourney winds down to 2 or 3 tables. You hopefully have projected a tight aggressive image. You know you have to start taking some shots.

You look down in MP and find, say, A-7.

How about at final table with 10 bb?

Is it time to make my stand and push? What about late position? Blinds? Button? Early position?
