M=5, late in $3 Rebuy, folded around to SB with A8o?

    Default M=5, late in $3 Rebuy, folded around to SB with A8o?

    29 players left in rebuy (bubble was at 90 players). Blinds at 5,000 and 10,000, 500 ante. Folded around to me in the SB with A8o. I have 80,000 chips (M=5), the BB has 85,000 chips. No reads.

    Is this an auto-shove? I have always been shoving here, but just wondering what people's thoughts are. I think I've busted out of 3 tournaments recently near the final table shoving and getting called by better aces. Sometimes I think KQ can be a better shove than A7, because less chance of being dominated better A.

    My money can't get in the pot fast enough. I would shove a lot deeper then 8bb as well

    what BB said

    Also, remember that even though if your opp does have an A you'd rather have have the KQ, he's less likely to have an A if we have one in our hand so you will get called less often with the Ax.

    I'm shoving almost any two in this spot. I would probably shove like 80% from the button and co.

    Im shoving any two here, so A8o looks like AA. This is such a +EV play

    ^^ atc looks good to me as well

    BB is calling for his stack so he may have a tighter range than someone who has you like 2 or 3:1.

    Yeah, like I said, I have been shoving here always; but I guess I've just had a really bad run recently where every time I do this I run into AT or AJ. Good to know it's just a bad run, and no bad decision-making.
