Hey guys. Recent PCA 530 seat only qualifier. Top 3 get a seat and 4th gets $100. I have reads on SB where he has made this kind of all-in shoves earlier on FT, didn't see the hands but did it 2-3 times. Early on I played with him a bunch and he seemed like a weaker player than most. Limped often and did not like folding, passive type or allin-shovey pre. He was playing 36/20/9 over 177 hands. I do not know who the UTG is but he was not one of the stronger other 2 regs. He was playing 22/14/13 over 89 hands.
Some things to think about is we are chip leader here and do we go with this hand for 40BBs? If we win this, we're probably in the top 3. If we lose we have 23bbs. I think SB's range is TT+/AQo+ and he might shove 99,AJss but not certain about the last two tbh.

Isn't that an obvious call being chip leader? I'm not sharp in satellites' theory.
If you think SB´s range is TT+/AQo you have a simple fold by ICM.

To have a profitable call with AKo you need an SB´s range like this: 22+,A9+,KJs+,KQo.

I think is not frecuent see, in this stage, players doing an open4bet shove of 40bb with a 13% of his range.
If SB´s range has hands like 99 or AJs, you still have a pretty fold with AK considering the payout structure of this tourney.

I think it's a pretty clear shove/fold spot pre. Either try and fold ITM w/ your bigstack or start making people make big calls. You don't want to induce a 4b from most hands in this spot. I'm pretty sure this should be a shove, but if someone posted otherwise i could change my mind.
Shoving didn't even across my mind, actually. I remember I didn't even think of folding but went w/ a 3b. If we shove, won't we we be getting called by just better JJ+? I suppose we do make a tough decision on them ICM wise and put pressure on them in this spot/format.
If this was a regular MTT and not a satty, is this play fine?
Shove. You dont want a call or a reshove. You are the chip leader and you are forcing people to call of for their tournament life and they should be super tight when calling
