Never a good idea IMO, if you KNOW you will call a shove, then shove first for yourself. Don't give them the chance to just call and catch a card.

ok

azeldin so are u saying my shove was good?

That's +ev in cash games, but in a tourney it's all about chipstack, you want to give them as little a chance to catch up as possible. You want to take a risky pot down asap, especially when you've already put in 1/3 of your stack. I don't shove for value here, I shove to chase off the risk of being crippled. You can't replenish to a full buy-in if you lose to a 35% chase in a tourney, and that is just not a big enough advantage for me to want to risk my tourney life especially when so many donks at this level love to risk all in on flush draws.
