Wizards pushing range shows 66+, AT+, A9s+, however BB is sat out, is this still too loose a shove with 3 players behind me?

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 5, K
Hero bets t2125 (All-In), MP calls t2125, 3 folds

Even with three players (the BB excluded) I think its marginal.

You can be a bit looser and include A-x imo or KQ but I wouldnt shove K-5 off from that spot.

Without being 100% seems to me with your stack and position this is on the negative side of EV.

With BB sitting out I would probably shove this as well. It's not great spot though as K5o just plays so badly versus calling ranges. Would prefer to have e.g. 86s or 98o for example. Those are way less dominated when call comes.

But in general this is spot to make -EV shoves and if villains does not understand that BB is sitting out they might not be calling much wider than in normal situation.
