    Default Bubble play - was this right?

    This was on the bubble of a 5.50 45 man sng, wondering if I should have sat this one out and waited for the short stack to bust or if this should have been played as is or played differently. Advice is welcome!

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 5.5 Tournament, 200/400 Blinds 25 Ante (8 handed) -
    CO (t9870)
    Button (t6156)
    SB (t16291)
    BB (t2847)
    Hero (UTG) (t4516)
    UTG+1 (t11824)
    MP1 (t9070)
    MP2 (t6926)

    Hero's M: 5.64

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, A
    Hero bets t1200, 3 folds, CO raises to t2000, 3 folds, Hero calls t800

    Flop: (t4800) 5, J, A (2 players)
    Hero bets t2491 (All-In), CO calls t2491

    Turn: (t9782) J (2 players, 1 all-in)

    River: (t9782) 7 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Total pot: t9782

    See: HoldemResources.net: ICM Nash Calculator

    It's cutting off the last two places in the structure, but it's an obvious shove.

    As already stated, easy shove pre. Do not go by or even consider the result. You got it in as a solid favorite which is all you can ask for. That the cards fell badly does not mean you should have acted differently.

    Agree with the others: shove pre-flop. You're not going to fold here, so don't let others see a cheap flop or think they can raise you off your hand.
