This can be a function of average stacks as well. Some tournies play deeper and you may not be able to blind to 4-6bbs because your fold equity is lost, while in others if you double up 6bbs you can move to average stack. Along w having a good amount of fold equity. So it’s really tournament dependent.

The short version here is that everyone is terrible in low stakes live poker. Nobody has any idea about shoving ranges or Nash equlibria, because they simply haven’t studied the game at all. Most live low-stakes events have awful structures and you’ll end up playing 8bb pre-ante poker at some points.
I definitely recommend sticking to online games until you have the bankroll to be able to play live stakes that actually allow you to realize your edge. When you’re incredibly short-stacked playing 20-minute levels, the fact that you’re probably a much better player than everyone else simply doesn’t help you that much. You can’t ever play a big enough sample of those games to have much of a shot at making money.
