it looks like there are 8 people so this is not the bubble and you need chips so call is standard.

Not easy call. i lean towards folding. Ak is so vulnerable. My range would be jj+ to call here. i made the experience that u can do so many shoves in a double or nothing that short with LOTS of fe. So i rather pump it in with junk than call with ak. Wont argue if someone says call but since u got those big stacks behind you you can shove a lot wider and therefore i fold.

We have 7.7 BBs, an M of 3.4, are the shortstack and theres 3 players til the money. If you're unwilling to call except with JJ+ you're going to blind out before you get a chance to double up.

The big stacks act after you and are more likely to call your shoves rather than a desperate shorty who often will fold to stay alive. You're much more likely to get snapped off by one of the larger stacks left to act, and with your ever decreasing stack size, you're losing more and more FE and giving them better odds to call your shoves.

Are you kidding? Given the number of people left and the range for shoves here this is obviously a call.
