Is this shove ok?

[Mordeca]

Wanted to get peoples opinions on this shove. Stack sizes between 15 - 20 bb semi deep in a tournies always throw me off a little.

there is nothing wrong with it at all

I personally raise/call to give em chance to get it in with worse

[LeeMcshane]

I prefer to raise here,  you will always notice when you shove for this amount like 20bbs your near enough always in trouble when you get called. By being dominated or on a flip vs a PP.

But i would prefer to shove AQ around the 10-15bb mark! Just having slightly less chips always induces a raggy ace or hands like KQ/kj to call in these games

[Longy]

This is fine especially given the size of the antes.

Our adjusted bb here is like 8bbs and I am pretty sure we aren't r/c with a 1600 stack at 100/200 no ante.

silly comparison in an MTT as ranges vary wildly

[BulldozerD]

I'd be jamming

yeh i think I would min raise with AQ if I had around 20bb, but then if we 3 bet, is it an easy fold? effectively if we get 3 bet, they know they are playing for my stack.

Folding? You kidding right?

This is a $3 MTT we have 17bbs and the ante is huge! Never fold this hand here to 1 reshove

just asking questions mate, I personally wouldn't fold to a 3 bet here with my stack.

what about A10 / AJ?

I would never say to fold here if i get shoved on. i just said i raise as i prefer to rather then to open shove 20bbs

raise to fold is a no go here

[SubZERO]

Prefer a standard raise here, as already stated in the thread people can then 3bet with worse. Jamming folds out those hands

AT is quite interesting, what do poeple think? Jam or fold, pretty close imo

[the rage]

I think that, nine handed, from that position,  with 15 bb, i would shove with AT-AQ and 77-JJ and raise/call with anything better.
 Like the person that asked the question, i'm really not sure what the correct range for shoving or raise calling in this situation is. Not even sure if we should be hjamming with any pair here?

[  ] silly comparison

[outragous76]

It is, because by default peoples ranges differ greatly pre ante in mtts as does game flow and potentially icm considerations

Given table dynamics I would gladly min raise fold a tonne of hands off 18bbs which I wouldn't pre ante off a similar effective stack

Okay, I see your point, and you're right, I just don't think it is 'silly' ... it means a shove is viable because of this maths, and means we can legitimately shove AT rather than fold it if we wanted to.

Fwiw I raise/get it in myself.
