$109 buy-in, 135 runners, 48 left, top 18 pay normal MTT structure. Average stack is about 28k, hero has 20 BB. Blinds are 500/1000 with a 100 ante. What is the approach here? Is anything other than shove an option? I decided to go all-in because I covered everyone on my left, typically I might raise to 2.5x. Does raising to 2.5x here lead to less variance? My gut feeling is that I need to approach MTT from a perspective of survival and I open shoved here which sees to contradict that view. What is your general strategy in these spots (with these stacks etc.)
