I'm 90% sure this is the correct move. Most players (even the crappy ones) are folding here, and that would improve my stack by 25%, but if my fold equity is low, perhaps this is a bad move?

Or, if I'm confident that I'll survive to the bubble, maybe it would be better not to expose myself to the board, and take my chances from there?

Hi, welcome to the forums.

With low fold equity this is not a very good move. You get more folds if you wait until the flop.

[Sykedupp]

this is a completely fine hand and checking to see a flop when you're this far ahead of his limping range is a crime.

wp just ul

[OngBonga]

We're bb, shove is fine.

[donkbee]

definitely shove pf

Something is wrong with the way you think about poker if you post this after getting all-in as a decent favorite. google results oriented thinking

[Fielmann]

This is a bubble of an SNG tournament. The 'u got it in with the best hand so stfu' approach doesn't work here.

Checking is the best play by far.

[OngBonga]

I'd fold if I wasn't bb, but I'm not having limpdonkeys limp their crap on my bb when I have this stack. It could well be a mistake, but I'm no ICM genius.

[donkbee]

OP doesn't specify that this is the bubble. It DOES look like the bubble of an 18m, but I would still shove given stacks.

You shove this from the button too? I'm just wondering if I'm right to shove this from the blinds but fold otherwise.

[donkbee]

It's a better shove from the bb, but I prob shove on the bu too.
