yorkiepb folds.
HERO???

Pros:
- I have a big hand against two shortstacks and an opportunity to knock them both out.

- They are liable to play any fairly decent hand, but not necessarily a huge hand.

Cons:
- I am assuming one has a pocket pair and the other has an ace, thereby losing one of my outs.

- A call, although not crippling me, would leave me very vulnerable considering the blind level.

I don't see how you can do anything but go all in here. Even if you are the situation that you said then you still have 40% equity in the pot and the dead money in the blinds will cover that.

Both villains have 4x BB or less and are desperate. You have a great hand, there is dead money in the pot and you still have chips if you lose.

I think this is a clear push.

Your cons are like having AA and saying the cons of calling an all-in is someone could outdraw you.

Easy call/push.
