Finding a spot when short stack

I'm really short and this is my second hand in a new table:
is this shove reasonable?

I think it's fine. With an M of just over 1 you're looking for any ace, and hopefully you can double up.

U have about 42% equity vs a range of: 22+;ATs+;KJs+;ATo+;KQo and you're getting 1.7 to 1 from the pot...oh and u have 2.5 BBs... call.

Insta all in here.

I hope you didn't fold down to this stack?

Thanks for the answers: my problem seems to be that I like to be blinded out.
What if we are in the same situation but with a M=10?
Still a shove: or looking for a better spot?

With an M of ten, you should either re raise all in to isolate or fold. I'd er on the side of caution and just fold... Your not quite looking for a shove spot but you don have chips to be raising 3x and the like really...

I think so,unless he's been playing very nittily. If he has 7BB, he should be shoving at least 25% of his hands, and you have 56% equity against that range.

not reasonable...mandatory...to not shove is suicide

M of 10 and 10 BB a hugely different animal... with 10 BB this is close with an M of 10 I would wait without a read
