I don't think it's an easy ship. And I think that you are assuming this is a SNG or possibly a 45m. Doubling or tripling up in Level 5 doesn't even guarantee a min cash in a MTT.

Yes, assuming SNG. I don't like folding even if it is an MTT.

Guys for realz.

One guy has overcalled a 3-bet with 1/5 of his stack - he's most likely a total moron.
That one alone makes it a shove.
Assuming there wasnt an overcaller, and if we knew villain was playing 30 tables as a total nit it would be a fold. This though isnt.

And the logic for it beeing more of a shove in a sng, vs an mtt is flawed both in terms of playability and math.

I shove because I remember weird stuff happening like the first guy tank folding or the 2nd guy snapping A7s.
