Poker Stars, $6.71 Buy-in (50/100 blinds, 10 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 3 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #30179981

BTN: 444 (4.4 bb)
SB: 1,229 (12.3 bb)
Hero (BB): 1,327 (13.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A

BTN folds, SB raises to 1,219 and is all-in, Hero pukefolds?

Get the Flash Player to use the Hold'em Manager Replayer.

Sb is really good reg and I'm kinda sure he shoves ATC.

I ran the hand in HRC and this is my calling range:
10.4%, 66+ A8s+ ATo+ KTs+ . A9o is -0.45. Seems weird. Feels like a call to me.

I would call tighter here. Risking too much

Does not even remotely feel like a call to me.

Only vs people who understand the ICM pressure will I call that range.

It's a spot where it can quickly become AQo+, AJs+, 99+.

If you feel he shoves ATC, snap fold. ATo and KTs is like the bottom calling range for you here

A10 is a thin call. A9 is a snap fold. Even if you take AA, KK, QQ, and JJ out of his range (probably min raises or limps those) it's still a snap fold.
