No not really.. you will be playing a 2700 pot with an effictive stack of 4800 OOP. This is a terrible situation
That's why you can never call here. If villain is agressive enough and not a total idiot this is a good spot for a resteal though.

Just fold it here and bully the shortstack around in the future :).

there is always a bigger fish

Terrible call... you need to push/fold here... and I would go for the fold option every time cept I have reads... with calling your putting to much chips into the pot to play properly post flop and playing KQo out of position is terrible thing...

as for postflop... why do you donkbet here?... check/raise this flop always.. since well shortstack is always going broke with his last 240 chippies here... and BU might cbet with his air.... if not he'll at least call the 240 chippies and you get extra 240 chippies...

I agree with this. Pushing preflop is definitely not wrong though. But calling is really really unprofitable in this situation.

why everybody wants to fold this one ? we have him covered and there is a shorty in there. i don´t think he wants to bust before this guy in a marginal situation. furthermore i don´t think that KQ runs too bad against his calling range.
i never played the 1$ sngs but still this is a shove for me and it´s not even close imo. you have tons of fold equity.
calling preflop is no option though.
