CO is an uber nit.
BTN has been splashing about, raising probably about 50% of hands and getting all-in multiple times but running like God. Very rarely folds preflop. He sucked out earlier with 44 vs my TT, all-in PF for ~15 bb's. Aggro whale.
SB is also an uber nit.
BB is multitabling and a note I have him on says small/min bets = weak hand. Playing reasonably snug.
The last few orbits I have been shoving in LP and chipping up slowly. The BTN knocked out another player a few hands ago who was between him and the CO. I had been stealing from them the last few orbits without showing.
Is this a shove here? Or can we raise fold? Not too worried about getting called by anyone apart from the BTN and we have an ace blocker.
This is an absolutely fine shove. Unexploitable, I'm shoving as wide as: 22+ A2s+ A8o+ K7s+ KTo+ Q8s+ QTo+ J8s+ JTo T8s+ 98s here. You're one step away from the bubble with a lot of short stacks. Which means you need to be taking more risk than usual. There are antes, we have a lot of equity vs calling ranges.
A9 is an instant shove here.
Even if we are going to get called "many times" as said from the BB most of the times we will be far ahead from their range!
Maybe, just maybe if the table is too loose and you dont want to lose your tournament life, is a min raise but i dont like this.
Kind of the opposite. At a loose table you simple want to shove for 10BBs with your value/decent type hands as loose players will flat you or shove and force you to fold too often. You can do a little more min raising with 12-16bb stacks at TIGHT tables where they mostly fold and if they do raise its generally with big hands.

ye im agree, the point is you dont want to risk your tournament life with a call with ****ty hand who can let you out the tournament i mean, you dont have a very strong hand, your point is valid anyways.
Off topic: im new on this forum, where i can check i was quote? thanks
Yeah not much to be seen here. Clear shove. Also should never be thinking about ever min raising with 10bbs. Its fit or fold poker from here. Minimum 15bb range and in late position can consider min raising against weak tight opponents. Agaisnt stronger opponents you will get slaughted with reshoves though. You just have to accept that a lot of sng play is push fold at later stages or certain stack depths. This however doesnt detract from what is a subtle art of undersanding spots and opponents ranges.
