Hi!
Should i wait here and fold because i don't have much FE and i can get a better hand later w ridic stack size or should i just push to hopefully get at least some of my fe back?

with these stacks im shove like ATC here man. idk what you mean by you dont have FE tbh

If this was a final table and the even smaller stack was closer to the blinds I would possibly fold 89o. With these stack sizes it looks like a double up could give a chance at a win so I would push very wide, maybe 70%

Maybe i'm misunderstanding the concept? I mean that-with that stack size i felt like i was losing too much by folding 1) if the blinds pass, the stack will be so small that basicly no one folds anymore to my "push" if it's possible to push anymore. 2)Actually i felt that the stack is small already and i will get called down lighter, especially at that stage.
Fold equity=FE? Damn i'm tired but against most opponents the less chips i have the less they tend to fold?

What you are saying is usually true. But in this structure everyone has around the same ICM and chip stack. Theefore you do have FE even with a 6 BB stack or greater.

But in this case you can definitely fold.

your way overthinking imo that people will know to call you light imo. most people go yes no and only can see their cards. we gain a lot of chips by shoving. i think this is very easy.
