At under 2BB you don't have fold equity build into your shove, at this point it is better to tighten your range and have better raw equity against all hands. Because you will get called down by all hands.
I am looking at the push fold chart and it have UTG shove at 42S+ 53O+, 74O+ 72S+.
This is absolutely incorrect to shove this loosely. You are shoving at 25% equity against most hands. And all hands will call you down in the BB.
Lets look at a typical 9 handed MTT you have 1BB worth of Ante dead money.
You are at 1.5BB you shove as loose as 42+ you only have 38% equity against all hands.
If you play the top half of your range, Q5o+, 98S you have 57% equity.
How much it cost you? Each hand only deducts .1BB so if you can wait 1-2 hands chances you can improve your odds buy a huge amount.
And how much are you losing? Lets compare the pot size if you have 1 caller in the BB.
Your 1.5BB your + 1BB ante, .5BBSB +1.5BB in the BB. You win 4.5BB @ 38% equity = 1.71BB
Now if you wait to improve your hand to Q5s+, and wait 2 hands. You now have 1.3BB + 1BB ante, .5BBSB +1.3BB in the BB. You win, 4.1BB @ 57% equity = 2.337BB
2.337 vs 1.71 that is a 36% increase in equity by tighten your range.
Also not to mention if you are in a big field and you are in the money, playing and using the clock at this stage 2 hands can be the difference between a pay jump.
