Pushing preflop puts added pressure on both opponents because of the cold call. If you don't push then you are OOP against both and will miss the flop more than likely. Also, probably the biggest reason I would push is because of stack sizes.
Why would we want to apply
"added pressure" to a Pre-flop-three-bettor and a cold overcaller without any further reads at a
full ring game?
Are we hoping to make them fold their hands?
Both are shortstacked. But if they are donks and started with 2$ they might have left already after succesfully doubling up so let's just give them some credit for occasionally having a semi-playable to playable hand. Suppose we push. The three bettor is not going anywhere and CO will never fold here getting almost 4 to 1 preflop. Presonally I hardly ever see anyone get out of line with pre-flop-
re-raises at these stakes in full-ring games.
Do we have enough quity if we assign
AA, KK, QQ, AK to
MP3 and
AJs, AQ, JJ, TT to the
CO? (ok... and probably JK...)

The mentally challenged are out in force today, and as usual they are completely owning me.
