After looking this over, I think shoving is the correct play based on a 8BB stack. I'm in 2nd place and I've love for someone else to bust, but my stack isn't much bigger than theirs at 4BB and 5BB. I can't raise fold, or play a flop.

I'm just wondering if this is an easy shove all the time, or is it close at all or ever worth considering another play?
