You are short stacked on the BB.
An aggressive player in EP, makes a standard raise to 1500. Short stacked SB calls all-in for 1200.

You have T6o.

How short would you have to be to push all-in. Lets assume EP will never fold, and will always have either 2 overcards, or a PP. Range for SB is tighter than usual, but the only hands that you are currently ahead of would be some middle suited connector.

You didnt state what your chipstack is, saying that you are short stacked is not really enough.

with 60 people left i'm assuming that there is 6 full tables, so there's 10 players at your table.
which means that the pot, before hands are dealt is 300+600+(100x10) = 1900.

considering the size of this pot, the raise by EP is not really a standard raise, it's a miniscule raise, effectively a min bet considering all the antes in the pot.
he raised it to 1500.
so the pot now has 1900 + 1500 = 3400.

SB puts in another 1200 and is all in.
now the pot is 4600

i'm not sure what your chip stack is but say u have 1200 chips left.
i would auto push at that situation.

seeing as u'll be putting 900 more to call the raise of the EP, and 300 more on top of that.

ur essentially pputting in 1200 to win a pot of 4900.
i'd take that any time.

but then again, u have to tell us what ur stack size is.

basically though, if u are short stacked. and there's a raiser and a caller to that raiser (ie the SB) then i'd go all in with any two cards if i'm getting the odds
