Default All in, low M near the bubble question

This is something I do every time and am pretty sure it's correct but just in case: three off the bubble in the $4. 180. I'm short stacked with and M of 4. ( My stack is $3000 blinds $400. $200. plus antes.) First in on the button with k-10 and I go all in to short stack on SB and huge stack on BB. Anything wrong with this play

if your m is less than 4 and it is folded to you then you should push first, look at your hole cards later. I push J3s here all day

Barry: I don't know if you were just kidding me but on the chance that you're serious, why? What better situation do I have than having all the information of everyone folding and only two players to beat?

Barry is a troll, ignore him.

This is a clear push with any two once it is folded to you.

Unless you have just lost a big pot you should have probably pushed before you got to this point. Read some of the posts in the FAQ sticky about making plays before your M gets too low

Cornell. I see what you mean but sometimes easier said than done when my hands were 8-3, 5-2 etc. But I also know that there's a school of thought that says push with any two and have some fold equity. I just feel too awful busting out of a T with those hands when I have an M of 5 to 7 and even with the M of 4 I wanted to have at least a picture card to go all in with.

With a picture card you will be dominated more often when called.
