1 of 11 in 10k ko on iggy. itm. $84 buying, $25 per ko

6handed
utg- 4.5bb shove
mp- 50bb fold
co- 50bb minraises to 8.5ish bb
btn- 20bb fold
hero- 50bb with 99??
bb- 20bb

166 seems like a bounty hunter, but any raises commits me and calling seems ultra weak. shoving also seems spewy. i think id be folding all lower pairs and shoving TT+. what u guys think about shoving this pre?

Id shove this happily 6 handed, people are really spewy isoing in KOs, you have a lot of FE and also decent equity when called imo.
You could flat also but expect a lot of pressure post in different runouts.

I never feel entirely comfortable doing it but think it has to be a shove, especially so with bounties.

Realistically, a call would only be a set mine here, and its not the time to be doing that with 11 left.... so then i would ask, what is your plan for the post-flop?

To me, its a classic shove or fold decision... i dont know who '166' is ... so now you have to determine just what the 'min-raise' means... simply an attempt to isolate for the bounty? then why so small? if he's holding big big hand, no way he min raises here... i'd probably end up shoving here, cuz there's lots of fold equity hanging, but its close...

Getting crippled here is catastrophic we will ladder so easily soon. This deep in the tourney the single bounty wouldn't influence my decision much, seeing the payouts will tell how much it should. Folding to this stack seems fine.

It's a fold or a shove. Which it is depends on your reads on the min-raiser.

Readless, or against a trapper or generally strong player, I fold.
