Is this a good spot to shove, with the given history and winner takes all nature of the sat?

Or is folding best? Pretty sure calling is very bad here.

    I fold. 

    Calling isn't an option and that only leaves shoving but if you shove you're essentially bluffing as no worse will call other than overcards but you don't need to race with that stack.

    i would fold here its not a call with your stack size your calling 800 out of a 11k stack almost 10 per cent just to hit a 6 that is all your calling for to hit a set and 9 /10 times u aint so id fold here

    Thanks for your replies guys.

    I was really torn between shove or fold. Anyway, I decided to take the bull by the horns.

    tink if you have more reads its fold or shove, but based on previous few spots blind vs blind i like the shove.
