Post-flop is fine multi way, but with a 14bb stack with a 12,5% ante in play I prefer a shove right away with AJs. Especially around the bubble you don't want to get in akward post-flop situations.

Yeah, I thought so -- Mathematically it was probably fine.
The few shoves I did make in this situation all got folds or called by big stacks with ridiculous stacks.

Sometimes they hit though.

I know it is being results-oriented, but I did make the money...
