    I'd shove here 100% of the time. Only because you have such a tiny stack. There's about 60k in the pot just from the blinds and antes, so you can increase your 170k stack by 33% with just a shove. You have to keep taking chances until you have a decent stack, assuming you want to win the tourney. Your stack shrinks considerably on the next hand, and the less chips you have, the more likely you'll get called next time.

    If you had 300k, I think it would be more borderline considering your previous shoving action.
