So with an M of 4 and an 82% chance I have the best hand at this moment I think preflop shove is the best play here.

Could you give a little explanation of why the open shove is preferrable over what I did? I have never really understood it I guess. I seem to be in the minority, but I almost always choose to make a normal raise and then shove the flop if my stack allows.

Is there a specific point when you will usually stop making normal raises and start doing this instead? For instance, once you get down under 10 big blinds or something?
