    I shove here. I am probably shoving 55+, any suited A, AT+, lots of broadways.

    chard, is it bad to shove any pair in this spot? I think maybe my shoving range in this situation is too wide.

    In this spot since we're the ones shoving, I don't mind shoving any pair.

    I used to go apeshit with any pair as well, but 22-44 play much worse than I always thought. Even 55-77 are tricky to play.

    Shove, and if you're the shortstack you shouldn't care about it being the FT bubble. If you fold your way to the FT you're probably going to come in 8th or 9th and the money isn't much more than 10th. If you were like 4th in chips then there'd be more of argument for caution.

    I shove. One of the bigger stacks may look us up, but we dominate a few of their limp calling hands, and flip against the rest.

    instashovve. should a good spot to take a coinflip w/ dead money. or just increase your stack by almost 60% if everyone folds

    I like most of that range but I think any suited A is too weak to shove here. A2-A5 is just crushed way too much here by the calling ranges of players in a $10 mtt.

    I like the shove here. Especially since i know from watching you in that tourney that the ppl at the table are mostly donks which opens up their calling range even more than usual.

    I like A2-A5 a lot better than A6-A8. The thing with a suited A is that at worst you are like 30% (except against AA).
