Is it possible to raise here? The BB has 3,3BB left so I am quite commited to his all in. Against the Bu ans SB i still can fold.

The biggest stack behind you has 15bbs, you can jam here profitably for sure. Raising is an option provided we always call either CO or BB (obviously getting great odds). Both plays will be profitable - question is which is optimal. In general if the 10-15bb stacks are tight, b/f (bet/fold to shove) will be more profitable / lower variance, and if they are active reshovers / competent, shove will be preferable.

If you don't view this hand as shove-worthy you likely need to work on your push/fold, a crucial skill for shallower stack play in MTTs and one of the most fundamental parts of MTT profitability overall.

As I see we're readless here, I don't mind a shove at all especially considering several stacks are on the shorter side.
