I would shove. If you get called, you should have a good chance not to be dominated.

Re: $75 TURBO MTT
 

you have an M of 4, are in the BB again soon, 2 ppl have already folded and you have a somewhat decent hand and your stack could hurt the BB a lot... why even ask :P

you shoved and lost.

standard.

Re: $75 TURBO MTT
 

borderline but a fold.

its slight -EV

only on a very tight table this turns up to be +EV but still borderline.

Re: $75 TURBO MTT
 

this cant possible be a fold, we have only 2 more hands before we're in the BB again. I'm not saying it's +cEV, but it's a risk we *have* to take here

i don't understand your argument, if it is not +EV it's a bad move. you have 9BB and a M of about 4, this means you are looking for spot to move in.
lower M means your opening requirements go down because the blinds get larger compared to your stack.
it doesn't mean that you should move your chips in in -EV situations.
if you pass the blinds and are in the same situation next orbit this becomes a clear push - cause your M is down to 3.

Can you underlay this?

I made some very rough (!) calculation and it seems that it gets breakeven if all of the remaining opponents have a calling-range of 20% or higher. With 15% it already slightly gets +EV (~ 1k) and I don´t expect 15% to be overly tight ...

made the calculations with "SnG Power Tools" with tight, loose and a mix of opponents.
only with all the opponents being tight it becomes +EV - and here just about 0,2%
