    Default What to do?

    I hate finding myself in these situations where the odds dictate one thing, but my chip stack dictates another. This is a $10 + $1, 9 seat SnG.

    VERY loose table with most PFRs and c-bets getting called. CO has been known to limp all pocket pairs, 2-3x PFR AA, and limp hands as good as AJs as well as trash hands like Q6o. He's in nearly every hand. Had called a push from a stack my size earlier holding A3s.

    EP is low on chips and has been folding most hands, I put him on med pocket pair, perhaps A10. He's kind of weak and afraid of CO.

    Button has been playing the odds, and so would call with any draw hand in this position, but would fold total trash or raise premium hands.

    My stack was down due to cracked aces after having made a 5x PFR when the blinds were at 30 in MP with 1 limper and getting called by 3 players.

    Table: 30114180 (Real Money) Seat #8 is the dealer
    Seat 3 - BB (1,830 in chips)
    Seat 4 - UTG (1,930 in chips)
    Seat 5 - EP (752 in chips)
    Seat 6 - MP (4,123 in chips)
    Seat 7 - CO (2,173 in chips)
    Seat 8 - BUTTON (2,037 in chips)
    Seat 9 - HERO (655 in chips)
    HERO - Posts small blind 30
    BB - Posts big blind 60
    *** POCKET CARDS ***
    Dealt to HERO [8c Ac]
    UTG - Folds
    EP - Calls 60
    MP - Folds
    CO - Calls 60
    BUTTON - Calls 60
    HERO - ???
    BB - CHECKS

    270 in the pot and 30 to call while in the SB. I'll explain what I did and my thoughts after some replies.

    I'd probably shove it right here and hope to either pick up the blinds uncontested or get HU against CO limptard since you're ahead of his range if he calls. I'd expect EP and Button to fold in this situation.

    Im guessing you completed the SB being BB checked behind you lol? FWIW I'm shoving here.
