Default Re: marginal hands late in tournys in late pos.

The value in shoving is that you maximize your fold equity and pick up the blinds a lot of the time. If you just standard raised then folded to a shove you are giving up a lot of value. If you just call then you are vulnerable to raises or flops that hit your opponent. Even if you do shove and call, with these types of hands you are unlikely to be in bad shape.
