FT of a 45 man here and 3 of the 4 remaining players have similar stacks, with one shorty (BTM this hand) on 4BBs.

I'm fairly sure that jamming 22 here is +cEV, but is it -$EV because of the fact that the ss will have to get all in soon and I can lodder to 3rd? Should I pass 22 here and wait for a better spot?

Nothing wrong with raising to 3200 here. Stack sizes make sense for it unless blind(s) are really aggro / good.

What are we doing if we get 3bet? Always folding? Just calling the short stack?
