    These were my thoughts:
Not long joined this table so no knowledge.
My m=13 with sb m=50 and button m=5. \\\surprised button just raised and when sb called i decided just to call and see flop as i needn't go in with such an m(harringtons m). Flop is lovely...rainbow top pair , top kicker. I'm expectingbutton to go all-in but a little surprised sb does. Mind he can afford it and may fancy a bounty so i know i must call with my hand. GOd, JT was a surprise to me though and may have been reason player didn't all-in pre flop though i still think he was in a all-in /fold situation.
Is my thinking flawed. I'd appreciate any input and anything extra i should haveconsidered. Cheers

Firstly, reading Harrington is a great way to learn the game. Having said that, the idea of M is more important when there are antes and when there are none, as on Sky, it's easier and less confusing just to think in terms of Big Blinds.

I agree that you should shove pre-flop. The dead money in the pot is worth 1/4 of your stack. It's this dead money that's the real value. Pre-flop against a button raise and a SB call, you'll frequently have the best hand with AJ. Shove it in now and claim the dead money rather than seeing a flop, missing it 2/3 times and check-folding to a hand we probably had beaten before the flop.
