I call an all-in sometimes depending on what I have. I generally speaking do not shove all-in myself.
Here is a scenario (6 max 50c/$1):
UTG: 3-bets... $3
Next player: 3-bets... $9
Next player: CALLS $9
ME: Holding pocket aces...choices choices!
What do you think?
I do aggree that on all-in on cash tables are pretty hard reactions pre. But I also do think that in this situation you cannot let 3 more players in that pot with you. I don't think that even 30$ would scare 2 of them, also don't think that even you holding the best pre-combo you could fold in the next steps

You probably blocking each others cards pretty much, and you are more than leading. But pockets like KK, QQ still a dark horse, especially if you not raise here enough to scare the lower ones like 55-JJ. And as we block two aces, Ax are weak right now. ˇ

As it's a hard spot, and not many chance to make them value if they not hitting their outs, I would say in this cause the little win is still a win, I would raise to somewhere like 49-72$ and that's the bet sizing where maybe you could have only 1 player. But that's still not a problem if everyone folds, cause we are only talking about a pre situations in cash games.
That's my opinion, maybe not the most professional, but I do feel that if 2 of them making a total 9-bet from the start, they will maybe considering the next actions seeing a much more bigger bet like I wanted to share.
