Low M late in a MTT - call push with 77?

Doesn't where the bubble is matter in this decision? Or is that common knowledge & I'm uncommon? I haven't gone this deep in a Stars MTT in, well, I think ever.

I'm just saying, while Hero is at ~5 BBs left & probably stacks up well against UTG's shoving range, if there are several other short-stacks left might it be advantageous to wait, if another bustout or two will move him up the ladder?

Completely independent of the rest of this thread and responses, you have to stick everything in here and it isn't even close. Do it NOWWWWWW

Thanks everybody. After reading all replies, it seems like almost all of you say push. A few says fold, but also says it's very close. Thank for letting me know this, as this situation made me uncomfortable.

If someone is curious what happened:
I did end up pushing my hand. Everyone else folded, but UTG showed QQ, and I lost and went out of the tourney a few hands later.
But that doesn't matter. Now I know I did the right thing. I realize now that villians range was much wider than I first thought after he showed me the monster.

Thanks for helping me analyze this, everybody.

edit: someone asked about the bubble. at these 45s at PokerStars, 1-7 gets ITM. in this situation 13 was left, as i stated in the OP.

Your M = 3
Villain M = 2.5

For me it depends on the read, most players at the $1 tournies are donkies waiting for good hands so have no regard for M. If he's a good player he could have any 2.

If u play u push.

Looks like you should'v made a move earler on tho.
