Looks good to me. It's too good to fold but you can get into trouble trying to play postflop oop with it. Just shove it in and pick up the blinds or take your chances the times he does call.

yup, if you make a standard raise to 5k or whatever and he flat calls, most of the time its all going in post flop regardless cos hes short and commited. If he pushes to your raise you cant really fold just based on how low he is so we might aswell just put him to the sword and shove em in.

well in this instance, the person called with queens aqnd i didnt suck out. i checked it in sng powertools and it was a +ev shove, but one of my good poker friends whoose advice i respect said it waq really bad, i risked over 1/3 of my stack, 20k, to try and pick up the blinds, 3k. But you guys think it was a good shove, i did as well.

I think this is pretty terrible as well. BB has far too big a stack to push on with A4o. If has up to 15,000 then this is absolutely fine but 20,000 is too much here IMO. I think because of the stack sizes raising is also pretty bad. I would limp here and play from there.
