$2 NL HE STT Turbo: Early game shove/fold situation with KJo

Here's a weird one for ya. Blinds are 100/200 and all 9 players are still remaining. I swear it was one of the tightest sng's I've ever played in my life. Needless to say, I had no idea what to do when dealt KJo in MP1- I'm not used to having this many people in a shove fold situation. I was down to 5 BBs, but with 9 people still in does that change things? What I mean is, since I'm now seeing 8 hands every orbit for the price of 1 BB, can I fold here? The downside is that I'm less likely to be able to steal from the SB because it is likely that SOMEONE will either have raised or limped by the time action gets to me.

With only 5BBs and a decent broadway hand I went with the shove...

It's very close, i think this is close to nuetral either way. So id lean toward being aggressive and shove, i wouldn't like it much, but this is probably a spot where we have to ignore ICM a bit and just take the negative edge and go with it. Again, no big deal either way i don't think.
