Typical weeknight local B&M turbo tourney. $130 BI, 56 people left, 20 make money.

Blinds at 1k/2k a300. 20 min blind levels.

Hero is in BB w/ 36k in chips. Hero entered tourney late and nursed small stack for past 2 hours. Hero had previously shoved/got called with Ax hands and shoved/not called with Q9.

Five limpers to Hero in BB. UTG is youngish Asian male who had previously raised two of past four pots pre to 6500, having solid holdings both times. He has approx 125k in chips. All other limpers, including SB, are OMCs with varying stacks 25k-100k.

Hero shoves 36k to pick up the 13k in chips on the table.

How's my line?

If you're comfortable enough in your knowledge of the table to do this, based on your opponents tendencies and how the game has been going, then I think you made a great decision here. Your thought process in hands like this based on the information is key. We should be folding out a large % of mediocre/middling hands that could outflop us or be leading. The outcome is irrelevent; what matters most here is why you decided to do this based on what you knew/assumed of your opponents, and choosing a profitable hand in which to do it with.

Did you disclose the hand somewhere or are we talking ATC?

Meant to imply ATC.

I don't think I'd push quite ATC myself, as I've seen weak-passive local recs call off here with 66-88 and ATo, but I'm cool with like a top 50% hand shove.

Agree, though I don't think I'd have the guts to go as wide as 50%.

Big reveal:

Spoiler:

Really would like to get an idea of what range this move is good to go with. Obv would never do with J3o, 72, 62, etc. What's the worst hand you'd shove your BB into a bunch of limpers with?

I'd probably put my range there at about any pair, any ace, any king, any SC or suited gapper, probably about Q5+, J2s+ J8o+, T2s, T7o+

I think live you can get away with a much wider range than online.
