So playing a live NLHE tourney at my local casino. Buy in is $500 and I don't remember how many ppl bought in by I do remember the prizes cause I wrote them down in my phone

1st $8400
2nd $6100
3rd $4700
4th $3600
5th $2600
6th $1900
7th-8th $1300
9th-10th $800

so its the FT and were 7 handed the blinds are 4000-8000 with 800 ante im UTG with 115,000 around 15BB. everyone else is around 20-40BB and there are two monster stacks with +70BB

So im UTG with 88 and I shoved, is this a correct ICM shove because I bubbled this exact tournament 2 weeks earlier(they run it every 2 weeks) basically in the exact same situation holding 99 with 10-15BB in EP. I want to know if I am making the correct play or is this leak (shoving medium pairs from MP at FTs)

Other players stacks are very important here esp shorter stacks. If you are shorty or 1-2 others were around 10bb+ then prob a fine shove

Being the shortest stack makes ICM kinda negligible unless there are some spewtards at the table that are likely to gii in ridiculous spots. Shove is fine here regardless.

Yeah

63 people bought into this tourney

The prize pool was $31,500, so if it was $500+house cut, there were 63 players.

I'd raise decide here always. This may be a profitable shove but I'm not convinced it's best.
