Want to gamble all in blind (M = 8)?

Yeah I was concerned about the 5 to act after me, but this tourney was top heavy: $2,500 for 1st, $1,300 for 2nd, and only about $250 for 6th. There were 44 players left. Basically I had one orbit or so (our table was really slow) before the blinds went to 150/300 at which point I would be sucking wind without more chips. I had to decide whether the opportunity to double up (given all the risks) was worth it at the time. At some point survival for survival's sake isn't good enough.

I can see the potential issue of chip dumping in theory, but didn't consider this to be any form of collusion at the time. I can go all in with any two whenever. Besides, there were 5 to act after me that could have had AA or KK. Nobody was being squeezed in the middle. If anyone else has any thoughts on the collusion aspect, I'd like to hear them. I just don't see it here.

Play to win man--if you want to gamble go to the roulette wheel. Your M gives you some serious folding equity when you're first to enter the pot from late position. Pick a beter spot.
