Default Re: hand three, what do you do?

I heavily favor a call to a push here mainly because you have position after the flop. If you hit, there's usually gonna be a nice bet before it gets back to you. If you miss...no big whoop, you lost 60 and might get a free card. From the blinds a push starts to look better.

The problem wih just calling is that you might lose your stack to K10 on a 610K, 2 suited flop. 2 pair crop up often in these bloated multiway pots, and its going to be tough to laydown TPTK given the action thus far. Plus, AK is so much better when you see 5 cards, and there is a nice amount of chips already in the center. Push and hope someone puts you on 7s, decides they have pot odds, and makes a heroic call with AQ.

You might do, or it might come AKT, and then you stack him, or K62, or whatever.

I don't like the idea of playing AKo in a 4-way pot. Push and then double up against 88 when your K hits on the flop. See how easy that was?

My point was that 62 or K6 or some unlikely crap like that won't stack you when you raise or push here, because they fold. Stacks are so shallow in SnGs, and you see so few hands, and it's quite hard to fold TPTK against most opponents. These three facts suggest limping is a bad idea.
