Just a little check-up as I think this is shove all day. Correct?

With only 8 BBs you can open shove any suited broadways, and probably any offsuit broadways.

How many players are left? Are you ITM, on the bubble, final table, or still early? There is a player with 3 BBs at your table and 3 others with less than 10 BBs... ICM on the bubble may factor into the decision here with so many others short and one crippled stack.

If you are not really close to the bubble I shove pretty quickly here.

Great question, as it does affect how to play this hand


The blind level is listed as 125/250 in a MTT, so pretty early in the tournament. Definitely an open jam all in here

With 8BB I'm shoving any suited broadways from any position.

These little .55 on-demands are quick structure and people get short quick and pretty much becomes push/fold show.

I only doubted slightly because of many players shorter than me but still think shove is best play.

Exact NHEQUALSFU - This spot can not pass, you have to shove this KTs.

I was thinking the same thing but was also thinking how are so many people short so early? I dont play there and dont know typical field sizes, blind structure, starting chips, etc so thought I would ask.

With so many short stacks, you almost have to shove.
