I think it's a bad jam tbh. You are 2nd in chips at the table right now, with the 2 other big stacks to your left. Should probably play a bit more conservative at this point, unless they are playing ultra conservative as well.

snap shove, you should be most aggressive when you're on the bubble, its very profitable because a lot of players tighten up and play extremely passively near the bubble in micro-stakes.

agree here...with that stack and A8s in that position I jam it all day.....

I think it's the perfect play, if you want to win the tournament. It's the only play you can make other than fold with your awkward stack size.

It's a good time to get more aggressive, if they wake up with a better hand AND make the call it wasn't your day/tourament.

Thing is I've been doing this a lot over the past few rounds so they might call me lighter. Is the shove still correct?

My stack size is awkward in relation to the blinds but not in relation to the other stacks. I was 8th in chips at that point. I should've mentioned that in the OP.

Anyway in this case SB woke up with Kings and I didn't improve and he won. The bubble broke after that hand so at least I ended up cashing.

Pretty sure it's still the right play, it just sucks the guy had a premium hand. Nothing you can do about that. With a little over 10 bb's you have to be willing to get chips however you can.

Position wise,its the right move.
