I'm rubbish at sats. Should I fold all hands in this spot? If I play, how wide should my shove range be?
I'm 10/11 with 10 paid.
Shorty has just doubled up in the previous hand and can be assumed to fold this hand and be left to less than 1 BB
Blinds were set to go up (I assume next level is 5k/10k) so if I sit on my hands and play no more hands, I'll be on less than fumes after the blinds have gone past me.
Assumed that I therefore had to shove here, even knowing the BB has to call with ATC. If I try to fold to 10th then I'm relying on Shorty failing to double up in his BB again. Plus if I'm down to 760 chips, the BB may even get a walk as the other chipstacks see it as less risky to wait and risk the 760 to KO me.

Just always seem to pick the losing option in these spots (I'm honestly not sure if it's right or wrong option!) - fold and I end up watching the shorty double and then get knocked out a few hands later... gamble and my luck runs out and I lose to a BB special.
Of course, the best answer is 'have more chips by the time the bubble arrives'... unfortunately I'm not that good at poker
I did have an eye on the other table Craig, but they were all better stacked than our table. We had the 4 shortest stacks and it was clear from play and chat on the other table that they were locked down and waiting for someone to bust on our table.
