11r 45k Gaur Stars Last Night, What to do when M is less than 3?

[Crispy]

Alright, I guess I have a hard time expressing my thoughts into words. I was thinking, when another player sees a small stack limp when he has an M less than 3, does that player put the small stack on having a premium hand that wants action? So, if the BB and SB both call/ they would have to hit the flop in order to be able to call the small stacks push, which would happen on any flop. So if overs hit, and the small stack bets whatever he has left, does the small stacks chances of taking down the pot increase, as opposed to just pushing preflop?
The counter to my arguement I suppose is that we want position, and try to limit the number of players we are up against, ie, getting it down to headsup where our cards maybe live. I think Marwan helped me a little, I am just thinking about if there are any other possibilities or moves a small stack can do, trying to survive.

Your move relies heavily on a lot of assumptions to work. a.)CO and Button fold
b.) SB and BB miss the flop
c.) They check to you
d.) They fold to your all-in.

Pushing gets it down to: You push, they fold or there's one caller.

The problem is, even if SB and BB are suspicious of you limping in and give you credit for a big hand, they're going to probably call you if they have any draw or a little piece of the flop because you don't have enough chips to really push them off of anything.. if I had like bottom pair and was getting good odds on my money i'd still call your bet.

I see I see. Ok, thanks for the help. BTW I pushed preflop anyway, just wanted to see if I had options.
