Partypoker, 4,60$+0,4$, 9-max Turbo (50/30/20), No-Limit Holdem

Blinds: 150/300-25, 4 players (Villain is a winning regular)

CO: 2135 (7.2bb)
BN: 4058 (14bb)
SB (Hero): 2977 (9.9bb)
BB (Villain): 4180 (14bb)

Pre-flop: Everyone fold to SB who SHOVES with 4♠:6♠:, BB calls with A♣:A♦:
Hero won.

Villain was telling me that I am a donkey because I shoved this hand and that this is incorrect (Icmizer tells different - +0,09$ push with FGS3, +0,07$ push with FGS0). So I am asking here, do you think this hand is too marginal and that this is too wide shoving on the bubble and we are risking too much of our stack?
I shoved this hand because Villain is a winning regular and I think his calling range is kinda correct (18%).

In general tougher the table is more marginal shoves you should make. But if other people collide too wide we can get away folding more. I would be careful with skipping +EV spots though as then our edge can also start to hurt in these short stack spots. So unless there was some very weak player calling shoves way too wide I would be happy to take this spot.

Villain should be calling pretty tight with in mind you are fighting with the other short stack to get ITM. If villain losing the hand he/she is the short stack with a wide margin and a decent change to be de bubble boy. I wouldn't take to many marginal spots as 3th in chips with in mind you have 2bb more than the short stack.

Hi ryzen7,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com :welcome:

The pressure on BB is the risk of losing the tie for first place. The other thought I had is that if BB considers you a donkey that is something you can exploit later.

Could be, but in this hand villain wakes up with the best hand possible.

Considering this is Turbo, and you are basically fighting with CO of 7.2BB, I would tend to fold the 42 here.
I would more be willing to push on the CO itself when the 7.2BB stack is on the BB.

Usually suited connectors are great to push, but I think the 42s is too wide. Almost any call will result in you needing to hit.
You'll usually get calls with Ax, Kx, maybe Q8s+.

Hero has 64s and not 42s.
