in that spot you are i would, its one of those it depends answers. It depends on the buy in and your opponents, you have to know if your opponent is just trying to climb up the ladder or is willing to risk vs with something like a2 or qj or if they will wait for a better hand.

This is fine. The big blind is going to call with any two cards here (if this was live i wouldn't even look at my cards). Heads up K5s is a statistical favourite over a random hand.

You can't really fold here as your stack is getting dangerously low.

I general I would say K5 is a very fine hand to shove here, but given the stacks involved, I think it may be worth folding this hand and shoving ATC from the BTN on the next hand, as you will then most likely coin flip with cdogplayer instead of darv27 (in both cases, BB have mandatory calls), and then you benefit not only from doubling up but also from taking chips from your closest competitor.

Anyway, with these blinds, it's a crapshoot and you can't win without getting lucky.

I would shove here easily; you're far too behind in chips to wait really.
