PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 16 Tournament, 300/600 Blinds 50 Ante (3 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

BB (t6950)
Button (t1360)
Hero (SB) (t5190)

Hero's M: 4.94

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9

, Q

Button bets t1310 (All-In), Hero raises to t5140 (All-In), 1 fold

Total pot: t3370

BTN is a random who was chip leader when we entered ITM play but without having an AI he has been 3 bet and whittled down to his current situation.

BB is a strong reg.

I feel we are ahead of his range enough and also we are above 2/1.

What is your range to ISO? Also with BB being good we would only really want to call with the top of our range IMO.

If the BB is a strong reg he's pushing wide over our call. I don't think calling is much of an option here. It's marginal, but I'll take the ISO and get a good price with a decent hand. Q9o is the bottom of our range here.

i feel iso is a.d.d. If you feel bb is LAG and will shove over here with wide range then folding seems to be correct. If you have no read on bb then a call here and hope the bb either folds or calls also.

i'm pretty sure this is right but it seems close. switch stacks with bb and yourself and it becomes easier.

If we were CL, I like this a lot.

With the stacks, I probably pass this spot and let BB call. Close either way though...
