Live $110 MTT. 157 entries, ~30 remaining. Typical (??) blind structure that has even the average chip stack a short stack.
Hero: ~38,000 stack. I believe my image is irrelevant (one opponent on the other side of the table recognizes me for having won this same event two weeks earlier, but he didn't openly with me about it).
Blinds/antes are 2000/4000/300.
UTG calls (my perception of him is timid, more tight reads than loose ones. Hands he has raised that got to showdown were premium, otherwise he wasn't raising preflop).
I look down at K
J
in UTG+1.
I am not concerned with the strength of UTG's hand, because he didn't raise. I believe that if I shove, then I can get him to fold. If you asked me to range him, I'd say he has 22-88, A2s-A9s, AT-AJ, K9s-KQs, KJ-KQ, QJs, JTs. But I feel confident that he is folding almost all of his range almost all of the time vs a shove.
1) Hero decision? Easy fold or easy shove?
2) Given this M in the red zone, what is your shoving range?
