Poker Stars, $3 Buy-in (3,000/6,000 blinds, 500 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 9 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: 238,829 (39.8 bb)
BB: 122,719 (20.5 bb)
UTG+1: 343,020 (57.2 bb)
UTG+2: 113,352 (18.9 bb)
MP1: 116,362 (19.4 bb)
MP2: 174,161 (29 bb)
Hero (MP3): 95,632 (15.9 bb)
CO: 104,623 (17.4 bb)
BTN: 96,432 (16.1 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 7

3 folds, MP2 raises to 12,000, Hero calls 12,000, CO folds, BTN raises to 95,932 and is all-in, 4 folds

Spoiler:

Not big sample on BTN but probably a standard TAG.
Honestly I don't remember if there were any payjump factors etc so let's just treat this hand in chip EV terms.
1) Is it strong enough to shove it vs MP's open?
2) Should I call BTN's AI?

It's a pretty big mistake not shoving this yourself in the first place.

As played, you can assign the btn ranges and determine for yourself whether it's a call based on these ranges. At first glance it looks like a call unless btn is only shoving a very tight range, which I doubt.

Without having run the scenario or specific reads, I'd lean towards a shove over the MP2 raise. Your stack size has significant fold equity and you probably don't want to be flatting here.

Tough to consider what to do re: calling without any stats/reads. Could always play around in ICM software and determine accordingly.

No sample needed. Shove pre.
