Is it right for me to push here? SnGwiz says fold but moshman and 'secrets of SitnGO' say push with suited broadway with under 6BB.

What calling ranges are you using in SNG Wiz?

In game, personally I would fold this one but it's close. If the 25 antes had kicked in I would definitely shove though.

Moshman also says at this stage try and push against the tightest BB which u will probably know at this stage?

But this is without good cards. If you want to check it out it's on page 136 (had the book handy, lol)

Here though you have suited broadway cards so if the BB was even slightly tight here I'd probably be pushing. Add to this if the table had been tight the last few orbits I'd 100% be pushing.

[taipan168]

One disadvantage that you have here is that you're shoving into the big stack in the BB, who will naturally call a bit lighter.

Hmm, I just ran this in SNG Wiz with the three intermediate players calling with 6-10% of hands and the BB calling with 27% and it was showing +0.08% EV. I guess I was right that this was marginal; I really thought that it'd fall on the side of a fold though.

If you were one seat over I'd feel better about the shove, but honestly, unless I'd shoved more than twice in the last orbit, I think in game I shove this.

[Alpine021]

Yeah didn't notice BB had that big a stack.

He could arguably call u with almost anything.

He has the oppourtunity to knock you out and increase his big stack even more compared with losing the hand and still being chip leader.

Your stack is short enough to justify a push here, I agree with Taipan that it is close, but you cannot afford to fold the next 2 hands in the blinds if you fold this one, so taking your chances here is not a bad move
