I don't think you can just call here - it takes you dangerously close to the two shorties if you lose the pot.

A push looks fine. You should have a fair amount of FE as he should be opening a few weaker As and medium PPs 5-handed. AA and KK are less likely because of your hand.

However, if the shorties have been pushing a lot he's likely to be strong enough to call one of them AI. If he's fairly tight and aware of position, a fold looks fine too.

If he's raising 99+,AJs+,AQo+ and folding anything but QQ+, AK then you have ~50% FE and 38% equity when called. You could plug something like that ICM and see what it says.

I shove pretty easily

I'd be pushing here. I think you're ahead of the range of a typical opponent.

I shove all day here...I don't like a flat call and I'm never folding

[freeucm]

I shove this.

[DevinLake]

five handed, this is a shove.
