Blinds: 8000/16000/2000
Stack Size: 145,000 (9BB)

:spade: 7 players remain on the Bubble. Next spot is paid £70.00.
:spade: Action folds to me in the SB with K4o. Pot is 38,000. Shove / fold?

P.S I was not actually concerned with busting on the bubble. My plan was to play to win as I had been particularly tight prior to this and felt I had a good image. I felt I had a good chance of picking up dead money and there had been few opportunities where I had been "first-in" in a good position when the action got to me. The rest of the FT had been pretty cagey and I was last in chips, although Effective stack were all sub 20bb, with most around 10-15.

It’s difficult to said without knowing the paid-outs and how the chip dynamic is at the table.
Also it’s good to know how active the BB was here, but without this info it’s not too bad to shove K4o as short stack. I expect you have still a decent amount of fold equity here.

Its basically considering this in a vacuum IMO as i wasnt concerned withh busting. Most of these FT's end up being a chop so i wanted to put myself in a better position should that occur.

It's been a long time since i multi-tabled SNG's so i don't remember un-exploitable shoving ranges or whether they've changed since. Looking at some of the strategy articles it looks like an okay shove.

How many BB's did the BB have?
It looks a sensible shove to me in general especially if everyone was playing tight
