Back to the sng grind

Average stack?

seems fine, 9 bbs you have to shove there when its folded to you. I guess some people could make an arguement about 30k then fold to a shove, but i think your hand is too strong and you gotta jam.

raise/fold is pretty bad in this situation, I think (very exploitable) unless all three players behind you are complete predictable nits, which is basically a nonexistent situation, because they'd have to be completely unaware of the tourney situation. I think all-in is okay here from the cut-off. Raise-call is a decent play if you think they're capable of making moves, and can put you on being a player capable of raising and folding being offered 2:1. Also note a shove behind you could be for value with hands that you are behind but have the pot odds to call, such as 88/77. I might be making that move also with KJ, A8, or even air depending on how much you've been raising. Raise-call is probably actually my play (lol donkaments), but it depends on what's been happening at the table and who the players are.

Also be prepared if you raise here, to think properly about the situation when one of the blinds flats and then open shoves the flop. This play typically comes from a small pair that had no expectation of getting you to fold before the flop, but probably will have the best hand on the flop and can now make you fold since you don't have the proper odds (3:1) to call if you missed the flop, which they will certainly shove if it does not contain an ace or something ugly like KQJ. It also comes from people calling with random cards trying to catch a pair on the flop; same kind of situation. If you have better than 3:1 odds to call after the flop, you should certainly call, and if it's right around 3:1, you should probably call, since they could also be trying to bluff you off a ragged flop that they expect had to miss you. If they trapped you with AA, gg. It all depends on what you know about the players and what's been happening at the table.
