Short stack question: QJ on button; $10 45 player
 
Just checking to make sure this short stack shove is okay.

Blinds are 100/200. Hero has QJ offsuit.
UTG 1580
UTG + 1 2365
MP1 2400
CO 8350
Hero 1620
SB 5540
BB 2290

It was folded to me and I shoved my QJ. Is this a standard shove, or is my hand too weak to shove here?
Thanks for any replies.

Standard. Obv not folding this. If you make it 600, you already have 37% of your stack in. I think I read this in the forums, but if you're going to raise and its going to take up over 35% of your stack, might as well shove.

Thanks for the reply. That's pretty much what I was thinking, but I just wanted to double check here. This part of my game is something I'm trying to work on, so I appreciate any help.

I don't think you be too far wrong to shove any Q in this situation. I'm definitely shoving any suited Q and probably Q6o and up here.

I think how thin we're pushing here has more to do with the calling range of SB and BB; which we've been given no reads. Against a typical tight range, and the fact that their stacks aren't small enough for desperation calls, I have to agree with Peanut. If that's the case, we can prob get away with a whole lot worse than Q6o.

Sorry about that lack of information. I had no reads at this point.
