Big $5.50 on Stars. I’m readless on the villian as he just got moved to the table except for the previous hand.  Previous hand he called a shove with KQs in mp2 vs another big stack and 3+ others to act behind.  Tournament Shark had him at 10 stars over 1469 mtt’s and a neg average profit.  My read on this table is that I will get folds from the blinds 99% of the time here unless they wake up with a monster.  I needed a double up and figured my A could easily be good here and it’s suited. (BTW my shoving slightly less than my stack was because I had been doing this effectively at the table for a while as a lot of them were MTing. In case I got a fold I wanted to stay consistent.)

A couple of questions:

1) Is this a correct shove with 15bbs here vs this villian?

2) Should I be relying on Tournament Shark for part of my reads on unknown players?
