Default 2 table $33 DOLLAR touranment on pokerstars

We are down to the final 6 on pokerstars, and I have exactly 2000 in chips and am ranked 5 out of 6. The blinds are 100/200 with $25 ante. I am under the gun with 33. Everyone has a decent amount of chips, what is the proper play in this situation? Go all in for the blinds and antes, or wait for another hand or better situation?

if you go all in and someone even accidentally clicks the call button it is difficult for them to be too badly off against 33

if all ins are being given too much respect then, maybe - but the next hand you are dealt won't be much worse than this one so you aren't giving up too much if anything by dumping them

imo

If you put in 25% of your short stack and then get re-raised are you really going to fold? Worse yet if you are cold called, you will have no idea where you stand on a flop that is practically guaranteed to have over cards. If you are going to call the re-raise, you might as well push all in from the beginning to increase the chances of someone else folding.

You're not close to being blinded off. You *are* out of position. I'd wait.

I would likely fold.
