The shorter your stack gets, the wider your shoving range becomes. A hand you would never shove with if you had a healthy stack can be almost obligatory to shove with when your stack is sickly. Why? The reason is simple. When your stack is small enough, your only legitimate actions are to fold or to shove. If your hand is halfway decent, you must shove.
This is an excerpt from my July 18, 2020 post. Last night I was in just such a situation. I was short-stacked, and two hands away from being in the big blind, which would eat up all my remaining chips. I was dealt A2o (ace deuce offsuit), and called a bet which put me all in (note: I consider call ins to be shoves). I paired my deuce on the flop, and got lucky and hit trips on the turn. Winning that pot made my stack much healthier, which enabled me to play an orbit or two longer, but I still missed the money by a country mile.
