what would you do here?

18 man sit n go, heads up

Would you reshove 17 bb here, or I had or have a feeling of just shoving 1st? blinds were about to go up in about 2 minutes to 400/800, usual donktard betting big when he had crap and he could have had anything.

I figured to catch this guy I was going to have to "race" and this was about as good as a time

Not ever folding here. Your +EV vs. Ax, any pair. It gets wider if you include KQ etc.

Open shoving is game specific, but I doubt its optimal. It folds out alot of hands that are going to shove if you open raise.

I likely 2.5-3x to induce.

Maybe a bit more context would help - how long have you been HU? What is your raise %, his 3-bet frequency. With the said, 4-bet getting this all-in won't be the worse play in the world, but I'm definitely not a big fan of the open shove.

Don't forget the K's are outs too! Also running J's and Q's, which we can count as approx. 1 out. Hope it makes you feel better to miss an 19 outter instead of a 15 outter FTL.
Good ship though.
