I wanted to get a heads up with the shortstack so I could get 4:1 on my money in what's probably a coinflip. Thoughts?

i'd rather call to play for a big pot against the other stacks than flip for a small one. I think your play works often enough, I'd just rather look for the set and play for a real stack.

would hitting your set makre than this?

that is the question........and i think it's impossible to tell.

If you call you gotta hit your set. If you push you have more of a shot of taking a big pot (for your chip stack) at a pretty low risk (just hope that one of the big stacks doesn't have a monster). I like that play... don't mind the call tho either (small bet with potential for a huge payoff).
