Sometimes players will check off the auto fold button while in blinds if they're playing more than one table. This is almost always a mistake imo.
Notice alot of priv. micro MTT players will fold in blinds to SuperShortStack shoves when they're easily priced in & the call won't negatively impact their stack (ie. won't reduce it to an amount where they themselves won't have fold equity on their own shoves in subsequent hands). Probably because they're not familiar with the math (this hand example above is obviously not this.... just thought this was a good spot to mention this).
btw.. nice bet with the MPWK (mid pr. weak kicker) with 3 players left. They can't call there with the other player's stack being so short (in other words.. your bet is actually going to be able to make better hands fold occassionally... but is player read dependant for sure....ie. I woudn't want to be doing this vs. a level1 thinker who tends to call really wide... also a smaller bet would often look like a much stronger hand (cuz if you had hit the flop hard you wouldn't be shoving unless it was a really wet board & felt the need to protect you hand while also betting/shoving for value)... the 'shove' does put the most pressure on them & in this spot I do believe it's the correct play (due to stack sizes, a shortstack in the game & all of those chippies out in the middle which will really help you to win the game).
