When do you push in with that short stack in a tourney?

It is somewhat implied in some of the other posts, but using position becomes very critical at this point. Say there are five people left, and your the shortstack. I would take a risk with a much lesser hand on the dealer button before I would push with A or K-any just to the left of the big blind. If I'm short and on the button, and everyone folds to me I'm probably making a move with just about anything. If you run into a hand, so be it. Probably not going to get another opportunity like that. I'm no pro, but I play every day and using position rather than cards when I'm short has consistently worked for me.
