Blinds are 150/300 with 25 antes. I'm down to 5BB and figure this is an easy shove when the big stack at the table makes a 2x raise.

Is this a no-brainer? I certainly didn't pay any attention to my brain when I shoved! But can't see any other choice with being this short-stacked, still 5 players left, and an A high hand facing an open from late position.

Does the following make a difference at this point:

Villain stats are 49/10 over 41 hands. He's had 3 opportunities to steal so far this game and hasn't done so yet. He's only raised 4 times during the entire SnG.

Just sigh and shove. I've seen too many people do this with random stuff like A5o.
