sb is loose, but folds to most big bets, at least oop. Bb is tight.

I have played 2 hands or so the entire sng.

Is this a spot where we shove, or do we wait for a better spot? Kinda running out of blinds here...

You're "piddly" stack is still over 60% of either of their stacks. They *have* to pick up something worthwhile to call you with. Your M is less than 6, now is as good a time as any.

I wouldn't think about doing any form of a stop and go here, by the way. You are in position, which is bad for a stop and go, because any hand that checks (or block bets small) is rarely going to call your "go", and you risk all your chips to pick up a pot they were giving you post flop anyways.

This is important, because if one of the blinds calls with a hand and hits that flop big, they most likely *will* check to you to induce your shove. So you'd be gambling twice with anything less than a shove pre-flop.

Push without hesitation.

Personally, I'd push ATC in this situation.
