Hi guys.

I just have one pretty basic question i guess.
Is this automatic shove or not so?

preflop: CO shoves for 5BB, I? Blinds have around 20BB.

Pairs beat me, Ax too, but i beat dominated high cards, idk..

If a 5 BB stack is playing reasonably standard they are shoving a lot wider than pairs or Ax, and against a lot of those you have a lot of equity anyway, and you also block potential hands that crush you in the blinds. I would iso in this spot most of the time with 10 BB.

With the info you provided, yes. Of course if it is bubble situation or late game in satelite it could change things.
