What is proper shove range? If I have 8-12 BBs I typically open shove if I'm planning on raising. Are there any other moves I could do here?

If at any time you want to raise and your standard raise is worth 25% of your chip stack just shove. Prob shoving majority of time with 8-12 BB

There are relatively few situations where other lines are likely to be meaningfully better. Just stick with the basic shove which is fine the large majority of the time.

I figured I was doing it right. sometimes I just shove with 13-14 just because raise woudl dwindle me and make me look weak.

What is proper shove range?
'it depends'
Position
other stack sizes
format of game (tourney, sng, reg. speed, turbo, satellite,.. etc.).

Maybe see if you can get your hands on a decent shove chart.

One other thing. When you're in shove or fold mode. think about favorable situations to shove, not just hands.

When you get to 15 - 20 BB's you should still be open shoving most of the time, but with this stack you should be looking to come over the top of loose players opens a lot.

Well typically on blackchip I've been playing turbo tournaments so when i have about 14 bbs in the cutoff or on the button I like to just shove to take blinds

i agree with poker orifice....you could be 7th in chips with 30 ppl left and 13 bbs or you could be 30th in chips with 30 ppl left with 13 bbs....it just depends on the game and table dynamics
