playtitleist ???

I am pretty confident in my holding here. BB will certainly call this push for t20, but I don't want to leave my fate in his hands.

If I fold, BB could easily lose and I'll be 3rd in chips, but I'm still playing.

If I call and whiff, BB will too often NOT call it down (which is another thread, argh!) and I have to fold and hope BB takes him out. In the process, I am resigned to 3rd or crippled in fourth.

If I push I could double up and get bmoondog's chips, thus being secure for 2nd. Risk is finishing OOTM if I can't beat either of them.

So, what's the play?

Call. Check it down with BB. Fold if bet.

As the button will be yours next, you still have a couple bubble hands to play with if you are forced to fold and not ITM after this hand.

Short stacks range is really large and big stack is calling with any two. You've got roughly a 50% chance of making the money by folding on this hand. Even if shortstack wins the next guy can't get through the blinds. I think your range here should be QQ+, but that may be too loose.
