tournament live 140

I'm missing a lot of info sorry, about 40 left, blinds are suffocating top 5 get paid.

Have 17 bb utg plus 4 (is this where mp starts) with 99 utg plus 2 opens to 3 bb with a 10 bb stack. There are larger stacks behind. No reads he got moved here an orbit or so ago.

Do u prefer shoving or
?
Weakest hand range to call equals weakest hand range to shove? And what is that range

is it easy to steal blinds?

short stacks at the table making it less e.z than normal

If there are antes ship without thinking.

If there are no antes ship anyway.

I think i would muck live and shove online

not sure exactly why though

you don't really have a calling range this short; ship anything you want to go with

there are players I'd fold against, but with no reads I'd always shove. range depends on whether there's ante or not, but 99 is near the bottom of my shove-range. and you have no calling range.

if he was moved to your table an orbit or so ago, which can be a lifetime in live tourneys, you should have seen him do something....

did he fold every hand and this is his first open, or did he play any previous hands?

if he played previous hands, and folded, or lost, etc, i think shoving is standard.

if he sat down and proceeded to fold every hand until this spot, when he chooses to open for 3bb instead of shoving, id be a little wary.

it is very unlikely he is raise folding from early MP pre flop..... in theory, he should be open shoving more hands than he would raise to 3bb with. if i were villain, id be more likely to raise to 3bb with the absolute top of my range and shove the rest of my opening range to avoid flop messes and capitalize on fold equity.....i would only want to get called or potentially receive action if i felt good about my hand if it went up against someone else shoving.

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 53.661% 53.41% 00.25% 943768200 4473720.00 { 99 }
Hand 1: 46.339% 46.09% 00.25% 814382088 4473720.00 { TT+, 88-66, A7s+, KJs+, A8o+, KJo+ }

you are a small favorite against this range, so i think shoving should be the default play, but i think in some cases (if the guy has an aura of nittiness) maybe you can fold. i am not saying you can fold for sure, but maybe.
