Might sound like a bit of a fish.. But im just starting back playing sngs/mtts. Is 88+ AJs+ a fine 3b shove here 20bb eff? I dont see any other way to play it? I hate to flat here and face a shove?.. Also what are you doing with 66/77 here?

you have 25bb here. See the hand history.

yes, flatting is not a good option here.

Do you have any reads on MP1?

nash push: 11.2%, 55+ ATs+ AJo+ KTs+ KQo QTs+ JTs

88s are +0.09, 77 and 66 are marginal, but still good. If MP1 is tight, i would def fold 77 and 66

OP is correct... 21bb effective. From these positions, an OK shove. 66 is probably bottom of my range... If opener is nitty I might even fold 88.
