$5 - 3 handed with micro stack

[mikeneron]

Pretty easy push here, but what about raising 3x instead of pushing with the micro stack there?

If we take the blinds...great.
If the micro stack calls and the chip leader folds...great.
If the micro stack folds and the chip leader calls, then we see what the flop brings and go from there.

Shove seems fine to me. Standard raising then giving it up if the big stack either calls or raises is spewing chips with you have 8.5x BB.
