1 hour till day 2, already in the money. I've been at this table for about 1.5 hoursx V1 is table chip leader To our direct right with 40bbs and has been raising a lot of pots. 3 Stacks to my left are between 18-25 bbs.

Folds to V1 otb who opens 2.1x. We have 6.5 bbs behind. We look down at Q9o. Do we get it in here?

I think I have some FE against the players to my left, but I'm not sure I'll have many spots to open shove before the blinds get back around.

I am SB. BB has 18bbs. If I was in BB I'd probably be doing the old Stop N Go.

Since the button is effectively shoving 18BB, he is going to be quite wide. The bottom of your calling range should probably be 22+kq+qjs+

Think your range for OP is too tight, but Q9o is a fold. BTN is not effectively pushing 18xBB. This is often a raise/decide and he will fold to a BB push. BB probably just defends often anyway. BTN could just push, and that would be a very different play with respect to the BB, but it wouldn't matter with respect to the short stack SB.
