    Default 55 on the button to a short stack push ($55)

    MP2 is 22/11 over 37 hands, SB 18/8 over 70 and BB 33/7 over 42. MP2 seemed ok so we can assume he knows he needs to push wide, but do we push even with 1 player and 1 calling station still to act?

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is $400 (7 handed) by Hand Converter CG

    MP1 ($1770)
    MP2 ($1050)
    CO ($4480)
    Hero ($1410)
    SB ($4400)
    BB ($2790)
    UTG ($4100)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 5, 5.
    UTG folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $1050 (All-In), CO folds, Hero ??
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.

    Hero folds, you are either flipping or way behind with 2 more people left to act behind you

    Its a crapshoot either way...

    I would probably just throw it in here since he should be pushing any 2 and we are nowhere near the bubble yet and everyone is short.

    i fold here, i would rather push any 2 first in, you still have a little fold eq. If you had 1k in chips vs 1400 i would stick it in and gamble.

    I also fold here, there are quite a few hands before the blinds hit you, as Trik said I'd rather open push any two. That said, I don't think that re-shoving here is terrible.
