Holy ****, literally LOLing rn
This is now the "Dicks, balls, and AIDS thread" btw, sorry OP.
BTW OP I'll give you a non-trolling answer too:
This is an insanely profitable cEV shove (~.5bb in EV, which massive) and although I personally think it's 100% correct to have an open not all in range when we're >=~8-10bb, this hand is not in that range for a few reasons:
-You block much of V's calling range vs a jam making jam sheerly more profitable (I think, but until we can solve Nash equilibrium in multiway spots, no one can know this for sure theoretically, only empirically) (Primary Reason)
-This hand is tough to play postflop (which, while not at all a valid theoretical reason to jam, is certainly a valid practical reason to jam) (Secondary Reason)
-Being at the bubble means your shove should still apply some modicum of ICM pressure on the blinds which should generate a bit of extra FE in the $EV equilibrium beyond the FE generated by your shove in the cEV equilibrium, and I think chip leaders at this stage will call it off a bit too light (equilibrium snapping range is 22+,A2s+,A5o+,K9s+,KTo+,QTs+,JTs) and you're beating every marginal hand he may add to his calling range (Tertiary reason bc I doubt the ICM pressure is THAT significant andI also don't know how to model bubble shove spots like this--it would be easy to figure out our calling range in the BB if someone shoves and it folds to us in BB, shoving ranges are a different story because the action isn't closed)
As for this, I do not play professionally so take it with a grain of salt:

How is this hand to be professionally played with all contingency and back up plans???
I am like 99% confident every single professional player who's actually competent would say this is a shove literally 100% of the time without even much hesitation. They are desensitized to bubbling events and do not give a flying **** about that mincash UNLESS there is some overwhelming need for that money that absolutely nothing can jeopardize mincashing in which case that individual should consider their life choices (such as asking themselves--and btw this is absolutely not directed at you OP--but they should start by asking themselves "Why am I paying $100 if I need $600 and I'm just gonna punt on a chance to win $7.5?") and whether or not poker is right for them because I really don't think there's any room for debate that this is a shove and doing anything but shove isn't just terrible it's just nonsensical. There's no way to justify folding here.
