Was it okay to shove in this spot?

Was a DYM with four players left. At this point, everyone was shallow so there were all-ins every hand.

People will probably say go all-in pre here, but I chose to check. My question is was it okay to shove on the flop as played? I figured that because there are all-ins every hand, people are playing quite loose and therefore it was okay to shove with bottom pair and a gutshot straight draw - is that logic okay?

    highly depends on the other 2 stacks but no i dont like the logic with stacks shown..


    he pretty much has to call anything with at least ~25% on this board, and it wont be hard to find that tbh - so there would be far too many hands that can profitably call u wen u jam here..

    pre is fine. He probably isn't limp/folding on that stack size. Post-flop I can go with a shove or a fold. I think shoving is fine tho - we have plenty going for us if we are behind but we will often be ahead right now anyway.
