I don't think you have enough to sneak into the cash here, so if you don't play this, it's going to be another hand soon. I'm pushing and hoping :)

You probably need another 2K in chips to coast. But all the smaller stacks have folded and only larger stacks are behind. You really can't make a normal raise cause that lets those larger stacks in the blinds try to catch a hand to knock you out cheaply yet if you shove you know you are only getting called by AA maybe KK. I think it is less risky at this point to shove as the odds of any of the 3 big stacks having a big hand to call you with are lower than giving them pot odds to call a normal raise. Anything more than a normal raise you might as well shove.

So I vote shove.

Yep, I'm one of those who would have folded those bad girls. Works for me, quite often. WTG !!

Must have been a lot of short stacks in the last 10 players and must have been pretty active as you were close to them in chips. It helps to keep an eye on the other tables when you get to this point in the tournament.
