I'm out of practice and haven't played much for the last 18 months or so. Should be in the learning centre really! Final table of mtt, last 5. I'm 5th in chip with approx 500k. Blinds are 50k/25k with ante (4k/5k?) Folds to me in the small blind and I have   . Big blind is CL and has approx 1.3m Should I be shoving here? I did think about it for a while as to what the best thing to do was and am still not sure about it now. Obviously I shoved and lost but given that the CL only has just over a double up more than me and the other three stacks are certainly within that, should I have just passed this? tyia |

that surely depends on other stacks and payouts of which we know nothing |

Can't remember the other stack sizes exactly, but approx 650k, 800k, 900k. Only a small tourney, payouts $1540 ftw, $950, $625, $500 and $395. I considered folding as perhaps it would be better to leave the CL alone and hopefully have something against one of the other stacks where if they lost if would really dent their stacks, but being only 5 handed I didn't have ages.
Glad shoving was right, it's been on my mind, mainly because I lost probably

how does he know you're shoving atc if in fact you're not shoving atc but just top 60%? sry i play too much live. with small player pools, you can easily see who your up against. there are certain players good enough to know spots where I'd shove any two. So vs these guys I'd be folding a bit. |

So vs these guys I'd be folding a bit. so they've seen you fold in that exact situation so know you're not shoving atc? so how do they know it's a spot where you shove atc? the 2 things contradict |
