When we don't shove we now have a way to continue with the hand without risking our entire stack in a marginal spot. We'll be able to balance this call by calling with suited connectors as well such as JTs and 98 suited.
If the OR 4 bets, then we can make a pretty easy fold imo.
You're putting in 20% of your stack preflop by calling. Are you cold-calling 3-bets with suited connectors as a regular play?
The relevant information here is that both players have wide ranges for this situation. Your hand stands to be best now and you can add 1/3 to your stack without showdown. This is a very important part of tournament play.
If you just call you're putting 20% of your stack in to give your opponents a chance to outflop you and you're going to lose the hand a significant amount of the time.
