What is the poker term for this

Question

What is the poker term for this: when you are VERY short-stacked, i.e. so impossibly short-stacked that your only hope to stay in the game is to win a three- or more-way hand in which 2 of the other players bet heavily against each other, but you win?

And what do you call such a hand?

Answer 1

well, if you go all in with 2 or more other people, it doesnt effect you how much they bet against each other because they already called your all in, the most you can win is double or triple what you already had and the rest is given to the person with the second best hand.  and idk what youd call it other than being "crippled"

Answer 2

You would be 'crippled'.  If you went all-in blind to try and win your money, but lost, you would be 'felted''.  If you won, that hand could be referred to as 'sick' if you did it with something that is statistically unlikely to win (i.e. 9-3 off), otherwise its just poker, no real nickname for such a hand (because you can't win the other two players side-pot, only what you put in the middle).

If you kept going all-in blind and winning by pure luck, players at the table would refer to you as a 'donkey'.  Myself included  ;o)
