MTT's - If, when and how to deviate from Nash shoving ranges? MTT's - If, when and how to deviate from Nash shoving ranges?

Long time cash player here starting to dabble in MTT's. I'm still trying to get used to having less than 100bb's sat in front of me so apologies if any of this is stupid or obvious but I guess I've got two questions to ask here.

Firstly, say it folds to us on the button with a 10bb stack (no antes in play and miles off the bubble for simplicity) and the big blind (who has us covered) is a super loose calling station fish. Nash would suggest shoving the top 32-33% of hands in this spot but, given the nature of the player in the bb, would you deviate from this range and if so how?

Secondly, if the tournament was a bounty hunter (the site I'm playing on runs a ton of these), would the added incentive of the bounty on your head cause you to deviate from standard nash shoving ranges and, if so, to what extent?

Thanks in advance for any feedback on the above

I would shove tighter than nash in the first spot but not so tight that I can't take advantage of his loose calling range. I would also shove tighter in the second spot, since other players have more incentive to call.

You should ALWAYS deviate from nash, unless you're in a 180 on Stars and playing vs E European multitabling human-bots who actually know and apply correct calling ranges. Your example is perfect.

almost all strategies in poker change drastically with the composition of the players yet to act. the better you can change the faster you win. until you can play perfectly as in knowing each hole card and knowing the perfect strategy for that depending on each players tendencies. as that strategy changes as well with the players.

and its not only make believe
