Money bubble of $12/180, shove K5s on button?

    Default Money bubble of $12/180, shove K5s on button?

    This is the money bubble of a $12/180. I don't know whether there is a microstack around, I suppose I should have checked the lobby.

    Somebody just confirm my belief that this is a super standard instashove?

    Look pretty fine to me although I guess the exact size of the shorter stacks is important.
    I would call this fairly wide in the BB but I doubt most players would. Any reads on the blinds?
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    dont care how loose the blinds are...im not folding k5s on the button with 6bbs (assuming there are no stacks <2BB's at another table)

    Yeah this is fine, people are very unlikely to call you enough in the BB to make it bad, and the SB probably won't call without 10% since he's at risk.

    yeah I agree. I'm shoving at least like 50% here.

    ignoring the money Kill Everyone chart has us shoving top 48.4 - if we think they are calling less than optimally we should shove wider
