I mean with an M of ~5, who pushes here and who waits for a slightly better spot?

Six-handed with the antes in play, not shoving here is a pretty big mistake.

Actually, I take it back. Twenty percent of the time someone behind you will have a bigger pair and the vast majority of those times they'll call. Being crushed in this situation heavily outweighs the 400 chips you pick up if you don't get called, or the almost insignificant edge you have over two high cards. Wait until late position to make a move with a very wide range (unless you pick up a good hand in the blinds of course).

Given stacks, I assume this is a 3 tbl 6m MTT not the FT of a 2 table?
