Poker Stars, $14.41 Buy-in (40/80 blinds, 8 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 4 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #30147621

CO: 114 (1.4 bb)
Hero (BTN): 841 (10.5 bb)
SB: 890 (11.1 bb)
BB: 1,155 (14.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with A

CO raises to 106 and is all-in, Hero ?

I always doubt spots like this. Is it better to call and see what others do, because their ranges will be super honest? Just looking for the most optimal play here. Both SB and BB are very good regs btw.

Raise to 160 seems good, by flatting BB is likely coming along with ATC

And fold to shove I guess?

I got trouble ranging the regs when they shove in spots like this. Some seem to do it really wide for icm pressure, where others are way too tight.

Anyways, what do I call here when SB or BB shoves? Something like 99+, AJs+, AQ+?

interesting.. my gut reaction is just to ship it in here (someone tell me how bad this is

).. however the more I think about it the better min raising seems. Still gonna get called wide by bb knowing the we have to be semi honest postflop with 3/4 of the pot being the main one with co in.

im a noob but I would defo ship it in as way ahead of the desperate short stacks range and still decent equity vs other players. sometimes they wake up with a hand that dominates us but more often we dominate the near any 2c shove range.
im a noob but I would never call here, but then I have never given that option food for thought..... na just to expensive out of our stack to call fold......

I'm not so sure about shoving really.

If you call or 2x and one of those reg shove, you are certainly crushed. Most of their range they will flat and top of their range they probably shove.

I really doubt if a reg will shove for instance 77 and even that hand crushes our hand. I think longterm minraise/folding or call/folding is more optimal than shoving.

Maybe our stacksize is too shallow to call/minraise. I think with 15bb or something it's an easier minraise/fold
