Let's say we are on the stone cold bubble of a live MTT. 23 players get paid, 24 left.
Table is 9-max and we have TT on UTG+2 with a stack of 110k and blinds are 6k/12k plus a BB ante of 12k.
All but one covers us.
Blinds about to get up.
Is this a shove?

Without knowing the pay-out structure I would shove TT all day, but you end up most likely in a multi way pot with you're <1bb stack.
If you fold you have only 1 hand left and than you are dead in the blinds with a random hand. Also we don't know if the shorter stack will go broke first or has more hands left before he/she gets in the blinds. If the shortest stack is on the BTN with 1 chip left you will go broke first in a hand for hand situation.

Excuse me, I posted the wrong blinds. They were 6k/12k, 12k ante.
So about 9ish big blinds.
Doesn't really matter what stack depths other players have or price structure. TT is just way too strong hand to not shove beside in satellite format potentially.

Fair enough, but than I would shove most of the time as well. Than you have a lot more fold equity than with a <1bb stack or you deal with a satellite or extreme flat payout structure.
