Blinds are at $10/20k.

Hero and the UTG player have about the same chip stack. Hero is in the BB for $20k (with only $15k behind). UTG shoves all-in. UTG+2 (big stack) calls. Everyone folds to the BB and he looks down at 3-4 off.

Shove (call) or Fold?

'About the same chip stack' isn't enough information here. A 1K difference is pretty vital in this spot.

Either way I think this is a fold though. If UTG busts out, you're in the money. If you've got a bigger chip stack than him you're risking your own tournament life vs UTG+2. If you've got a shorter chip stack than him you're risking your tournament life vs both, while he could just bust out vs UTG+2. So with a hand as junky as 43o, I think it's a fold.

I think you have to fold here, with such a low chipstack, your only hope for any kind or ROI is to hope UTG gets knocked out.

2 players in All-in and leader goes Re-all-in? You must fold all you hands here. Calls only with AA, KK, AK

You already have almost no hope so squeaking into the cash is vital i say to fold!

That's way too nitty. Also depends if you're ahead or behind the other short stack, but there's a much wider range you can call with. This one's too weak.

It's a must fold. You've got high chances to get into the money and with 34 your hand is pretty much beaten.

I fold..if i have a quality hand I may roll the dice but even then I doubt it..that open shove has a wide range in that spot because he is about to get the blind and your description says he doesn't even have 2 bbs left....you could be in a better than 50% chance to cash here.
