3 left, he was shoving most hands but he was a good player. Is it best to try and double up here?

    Well you can't 'shove' obviously as it is a case of call or fold.

    I would say it is a fold. You don't know what the BTN has or will do or what the SB has but you know he is committed. You really can only hope it is a flip and you could be in a whole lot worse shape than that. I mean sure the initial raiser 'might' fold and you 'might' be in a flip with the SB shover with some extra juice added but that is a bit of hoping.

    I personally would fold and look to assert some pressure in position and use any fold equity you have rather than calling off here in a very marginal spot..

    Fold, flipping at best. Never great to call off what will often be a flip and sometimes be crushed. Got enough chips back to pass here imo.
