    In a turbo with blinds 1/5 of your stack, I'd be shoving pre.

    As played a lot would depend on the UTG limper. But I'm probably shoving the flop aswell.

    I agree with Skeeno, I am shoving this preflop, and if I didn't shove preflop then shove the flop.

    Ok but I am the third largest stack out of 5, isn`t it a bit extreme to risk my stack like that. If some of the bigger stacks calls my all in, at best we would be coin flipping. Which isn`t good I think

    It is only the UTG limper who is in the hand, so he's the only player who can call you. If he does call you and loses, he loses more than half of his stack. You have good fold equity here, and considering the dead chips in the pot, you have more than correct odds to flip IF he calls you.
