I would just openfold. Raise/calling is not an option imo, raise/folding is expensive, so i elect to fold it.

Not very interesting... It's a clear shove

OK, I was just concerned if it's closer to fold or to shove, r/f is out of the question. Although it's 18 BB, it seemed like a trivial shove to me and I did so, BB had 77 and knocked me out.

I opened the thread, because I wasn't sure if it's automated move or only bottom of our range here, that's it.
