That is fine if you want to race for your stack. You also could be crushed considering button's range here.

what kinda stats does BTN need here for you to NOT shove/4bet?

[ajmargarine]

nittier numbers (15/12). an OK player who is positionally aware enough to know you are raising UTG.

i mkae this shove based on history not stats

3betting tendencies matter to me more than general PFR, since some players raise a lot but only 3bet premium hands.

Does Button 3bet a decent amount?
Have you seen him 3bet and fold to a shove (indicating he 3bets with more than QQ+)?

ure not even fullstacked yo

I don't want to Hijack OP's post, But other than limping a little more. A 22/12 and a 15/12 pretty much Raise the same types of hands, don't they?

I also believe the 3 better needs looser numbers (PFR), not tighter.

Imo.
