That's not really true, if you think raising 40% stack gets more folds then going all in, then 40% stack is the better option obv...
I don't think it really matters what you do darb, just double check the nash and see if the ranges are accurate, if they are then take it if it's +EV. If it's basically breakeven (which I have a hunch it might be) I don't mind giving it a pass. A lot of these shove spots aren't really hands you can post and get opinions on, they're just math spots... if you're deciding whether to raise half stack or shove, usually I'd raise less than all-in in situations where you have very little fold equity and it's possible that the blinds won't be playing close attention (sundays vs. regs). Here it's hard to say how randoms are going to perceive it, but I feel like it might be slightly better than shoving.
To the others - we're not reeeally shoving 18BB here, only 2 people have us covered and the rest are like 15BB and less. It's a mistake to treat your shoving range here the same as if everyone had 18BB.
