just working the numbers, you can shove about 35bb effective profitably with K8o assuming no dead cards, the ante is 1/10 of the big blind, there are 9 players at a table and the big blinds calling range is pretty damn wide (33+, A2s+, A4o+, K9s+, KTo, QTs type range). as dan said there are other things to take into account and def more optimal ways of playing the hand at certain times, but in a lot of spots if you have 22bb and K8o and you would otherwise fold in the sb why not just jam?
(for the record, with no antes and hu you can shove 18bb profitably with K8o)
the fact that nobody had a big hand before you is an interesting point but i think the combinations of Axo folded by many players make up for this fact a lot of the time. ill post again once i read through your code and see the assumptions you made.
