This is so completely standard that you probably have a lot of studying to do in spots like this.

Even 22 is a standard shove here. 99 is not remotely close. I recommend purchasing software like ICMizer to help you study spots like these.

As the shortest stack at the table you can't afford to be timid, especially when you're not even on the bubble. Just to give you an idea of how aggressive you need to be, ICMizer says to shove the range {22+, Ax, K5s+, KTo+, Q8s+, QTo+, J7s+, JTo, T7s+, T9o, 97s+, 87s, 76s}

coming back to game after long time out will have to start at micro stt to build bankroll back up.
but in a spot like this would you push a little wider then GTO. (ICM tax not that heavy as 5 handed,we in short stack but regardless whatever is said is borderline push here)
to maintain FE which would be even more of a consideration if blinds could go up before we hit the big blind thinking as wide as kxs, k8o j9o all suited connectors?

Most guys I see with this mindset just overdo the living **** out of it and it can pretty quickly create trouble.

I don't want to be rude, but are you literally asking if 99 is a shove with 9 big blinds in the CO in an unopened pot as the shortest stack in a STT in a spot where there are 0 ICM implications? You can probably jam any A, any broadway hand, any pair, tons of suited hands here, etc.

do you mean STT's are dead? And do you mean for those that want it as their main income?

Hi Pejep I played alot of micro STT's on stars over the past couple of years. And I agree with the other players that an openshove from the CO with 99 with 9bb is standard here.

I also think the villain's call from the SB is standard in this situation. GL!

Judging by the original post, it's still very alive
