I've been cold decked since the start of the tourney and have done well to get this far (40 left, 20 get paid) do I shove pre when my edge is post flop?  I don't want to race when I'm getting such a good price to see a flop.

    Original raise is fine but you HAVE to shove preflop after his 3bet. At the start of the hand you only have 13BB and his raise is a perfect chance to 4bet shove all-in. Even if you do have an edge post-flop, your edge will get smaller and smaller the shorter stacked you are.

    In this spot with stack sizes i likely shove if I'm planning to play it. I want to see all five cards with a hand like AQ-AK and so OOP when a call is going to leave me with 10bb I just prefer to get it all in if i'm happy to play the hand against villian. As it was you got the guys chips, but its pretty loose of him to call with two overcards unless he thinks you do that with any hand (which you may).

    Thats my thoughts with these stack sizes anyway.

    Thanks guys,  your advice is always good, i'm currently 9 out of 21 so should be good for a cash.  The min raise looked so strong I wasn't sure of my best move, especially when I had been playing so tight/passive so i panicked and called rather than thinking my hand through properly.

    Edit: out on bubble 33 v 89

    To be honest, his raise is pretty horrible, he should see how short stacked you are and his options should be fold or stick you all in (I'd definitely be sticking you all-in).

    Unlucky on bubbling.
