    1) With ~ 10 BB and M of less than 5 am I desperate or just short stacked

    2) My thought is that I still have enough chips that if I shove the SB with no action in front of me that I can get the BB to fold.

    It's a risky play but that pot is 1/5 of our stack. How has the BB been playing? Has he been tight/loose? Either way it's a mad push but if called u possibly have two live cards. Would suck to see As6s or A5/4.

    I think id take it one more orbit in a regular structured MTT before I shove this type of hand in that spot. Probably shove in a Turbo or Hyper Turbo.

    with you being in the small blind your gonna go another 8 hands before you have to post again, i think i'd take my chances and try to find a suited ace or a pair in between there

    Definitely shoving anything connected in this spot and double shoving if connected and sooted. You'll get folds often enough to make this profitable.

    Add 20% every time he folds, that alone makes it a must but if he calls with any pair any ace any broadway your like 37%, I snap shove , and how the BB has been playing really means nothing since your taking the play away by shoving imo

    I don't like the shove in this spot. Not worth busting this deep in a tourney imo. Only way I shove here is if his vpip is 12 or under over 40+ hands.
