    I'd call, stack size dictates he's desperate, your bet is barely over a minraise. In that pot he's got just about the only situation that he can push with marginal hands and still have some fold equity to back it up.
    Another possibility is that he was multitabling not paying attention and thought you are all in because of the strange bet size and decided to push the rest to get heads up and take the blinds. All around, you could use the chips and seems worth the gamble. I would not bet so little preflop either, kind of begging someone to push over.

    As played uou're getting better than 7-3 odds so you can't fold period. The original raise is really bad into two shorties against whom you'll be pot committed if they shove but you'll usually be way behind.

    I think people are too terrified of going into push-fold mode. If you play a short stack well then it's not that bad of a place to be and I wouldn't make a horrible pot odds fold to stay out of there. You can find a whole lot of +EV spots as an 8 to 12 BB stack.

    Don't mind the pfr if they all fold too much, but you're obv committed to seats 5 & 6.

    In general pre is a fold though.
