Here is the situation. $50 SnG. Four people left. Payouts to the top three. You and the other low guy only have enough to cover one more orbit. The 1st and 2nd place chip leaders fold. You get to act before the other short stack who is BB and has only 150 more than you. Enough for one SB and a slight raise. What do you do.
He folded and was taken out the next hand...

I call with anything no matter what, he is a fool.
Yesterday in a $50 SnG, we were down to four and me and another guy were short. He doubled thru leaving me in trouble and I looked down to find AQs. I shove my chips in and get called by KK! Flop has an Ace.....and 2 more Kings giving him quads. Talk about overkill

Sometimes calling with anything is OK if the other player is on tilt. Most of the time however when a player goes all in he has a decent hand. You should have run out and bought lotto tickets after winning with 8,6
Last week a player went all in with 5,5 and I called with 10,10. he made his set and ended up winning the tourney with A,4 Vs A,A. He caught three 4's.
I added this player to my buddy list and have beat the snot out him almost daily. Can I add you to my buddy list?

I think the BB played horribly, and his laydown was awful. I think your push with 86 was the only move you had left because if you folded to him, you would be the next one up for blinding out. And the situation was _golden_ since both the bigstacks folded.
I love it when people think its about cards on the last four when you are smallstacked, when it's often more about position relative to the blinds and bigstacks . Put this weak-tight pushover camper on _your_ buddy list.
