Is this a shove or an open?

Ok, this is a $6 turbo satelite to the $26 Ticket Frenzy. dont have much info on other players as this is a pretty quick turbo. My thinking is that if I open, i am not folding to a 3 bet shove, so i thought the open shove would be better. i was also thinking that my shove looks more like maybe 22-99 and that I might get called by a weaker Ace. Any thoughts?

in a $6 turbo, the players are likely bad, and will flat you if you make a standard open, even if they have 17bb, which puts you in an awkward spot, so i like the open shove.

if there is a couple of aggro guys with position on you, you could open to let them shove on you light, but if they are passive in general then open shoving is better

I don't like the open shove here with the blinds being where they are at, plus you have a lot of people to act after you. Shoving 1622 to win 120 with so many left to act seems risky, you are still around 20bb. IMO

depends a lot on the players left to act. if they are flatting a lot then i could see shoving here. but if they are tight i like raise/??? and if they are aggresively restealing i like raise/call.
