interestingly enough I try to look for the people with MTT mentalities at my table and play in position with a strong hand, I usually get them to fold pre or after the flop with 3x bets, because of the image I build early in the game: when I have something good I bet.  Unfortunately as many of you pointed out, that doesn't matter when people push.  I find most usually push with AK suited, QQ, KK and AA preflop if shortstacked hoping that one of the donks will come along.  If it only costs me 20% or less I'll consider calling, as flatting shows strength to them regardless of position.  Case and point, guy shoved with 66 in MP, it was only $20 at a 1/2, I look down at 88, and it would only cost 9% of my stack, I flatted and a guy with AK suited calls.  dream flop comes 383, check around, 383K, I bet 50 or bluff size, he stayed in cause he usually plays tourneys, 383K5 (rainbow), I push him all in, he calls, I announce "eights full" and show my hand, AK shows, and we're down two players.  So additionally to the point about doing the right thing at the wrong time, sometimes doing the wrong thing at the right time helps as well.
