Is this shove the right play? or should i have waited for a better opportunity?
I also want to ask if it is useful to play in this tournament, because i think this tournament is just shoving with the right cards en hope that you win the flip? Is it not just time-wasting then?

I think the shove is fine to be perfectly honest. You got almost 3BB and well you have to take a shot somewhere and it might as well be with an Ace. If a tournament is a shove fest just decide for yourself if that's something you want to play in or be comfortable with. Considering the buyin you could almost view this as a freeroll and people will play the, let's call it, 'all in game' a lot there. In my view it's not time wasting if you are enjoying it but if you are not then you might want to consider another tournament depending on bankroll, etc, etc, etc

This hand shouldn't even be posted. You have <3bb, an ace, and the blinds are hitting you next hand in a hyper turbo MTT? What are you going to wait for?

Everyone is so short that this is a fairly easy shove. You should be shoving any ace because the antes are big and you are going to hit the big blind next hand. Also, the players in these $0.02 games play so bad that you can get called by worse a lot of the time.

As for the value of these games, clearly you are not going to make a significant amount of money in $ value from them. However, they are very easy games to win at (probably at almost $0.01 per game ) because the players are so bad and they are unable to have any idea of what hands they should be pushing or folding at any time. Also, they have no rake so even if you are just a tiny bit better than your opponents you will be able to win. So while there is a lot of luck in this format, you can win if you are willing to push and be all in a lot of the time because of the mistakes which other people are always making. They are probably the most easily beatable format on the site in that I cannot imagine any player who would be unable to win at them at some rate if they know basic push food logic.

Ya I agree though there thats for sure Shove and hope is all you can do there.
