3 handed no chop.
Payouts; 1st - $16K, 2nd - $8K, 3rd - $4K. Button (8kchips) makes it $5,000 to go, totally pot-committing himself. Blinds are $600-1200 with a $200 ante. In the big blind... our buddy looks down at two black nines and 27k chips, bb has 35k chips... what do you do? |

Its a shove. You want to try and bust the shorty but you don't want the big stack to have a chance at his chips. Its gonna be a lot harder to win if the big stack wins a ton of chips by tagging along this hand. Also if the shorty survives the push you hate him tripling up, but if he doubles you still have him slightly covered. I should do math on this, but I won't. Also, try the STT for some math, they're real good at the cash EV, chip EV stuff.

This is the standard SNG payout, so using Eastbay's tool (check his profile, it is very cool).
I dont feel right using it publicly without a plug It actually looks closer than I thought depending on the Villan's range. But unless he is the tightest player in the world, it is a push. |

my buddy moved in w/ his 99 then the bb moved in over the top of him w/qq...the button then folded 33 face up keeping his last 3k and the bb busted my buddy out in 3rd.

Wow, that completely sucks. Nothing you can really do though.

so is the best answer something more like final jeopardy where you keep a little more money than the short stack has left so that he WILL call knowing he cant possibly lock up 2nd?

That's distinctly possible. That's some quality outside the box thinking though. Of course there's at least some possibility that the little stack folds anyway, thinking you will call, which I guess you have to. But then, you're really no worse off than you were before.

nah, once you commit that many chips, you are losing money if you fold for the rest of them.

no one said you would fold, just put that idea in the mind of the shortstack whos trying to get a free ride up the ladder. you make a big jump by doing anything to lock up his call here.
