ITM, guy is pushing a super wide range (80-95%) here and Wiz suggests a calling range of 2.5% (TT+) but is this not a little too tight? or should we really call TT+ here considering there is a 2bb stack?

SB: t11058 M = 10.05
Hero (BB): t5524 M = 5.02
CO: t9118 M = 8.29
BTN: t1300 M = 1.18

Why risk being 4th when the blinds are hitting the btn soon and he only has 2BB now? Yes I would be very tight here.

He makes that push because he knows you can't call without a top 2-3% hand. Don't make the call, it's really bad. A7 is only 60/40 against any-two-cards. You're going to risk a 40% chance of getting knocked out when you're doing fine and btn is crippled?

This is a def fold

Y, TT call seems to be about right and A7s is an easy fold to me. Even if you know he has a hand like 86o you don't want to make this call. you are not far behind of sec stack and if yuo double up one more time after the shorststack goes out then you are (close to) chipleader.

I wouldn't fold 99 here

The difference between 4th and 3rd is so minor that I would call here and play for first.

No?

The jumps are 10% always so it's an easy fold

A7 is a nailed on fold. You're not happy when villain throws over 53 here. Be glad you're in a spot where your 3rd place equity is so good, swallow your pride and fold.

@mattgood Bubble factor for 3rd is close to that of 4th in 18 mans

I would fold, but I don't mind a call if you have the need to "stand up to the bully."
