TT UTG 9 handed final table of tournament - right basic strategy
 

Hi,
Recently played a tournament (a home game) and had this hand come up.

Blinds are 500/1000. I have 8000 in chips and I'm the short stack at the table. I look at TT under the gun? Easy push? I was thinking about this later and was wondering what the right strategy for this hand is.

5 places pay and we were down to 9 players. Please let me know if any additional information is needed. I'm mostly a cash game player and might have missed out some important variables / parameters in describing the situation.

8 BBs... losing another BB next hand... need to chip up to get ITM... premium-ish starting hand...

Easy poooooooosh.

Shove with a fistpump.

With 8xBB TT is the nuts.

push

under 10BB you can push TT from any position

easy push...but I guess if the table has been tight raising for value may not be a terrible move. If you decide to raise 2.5x -3x bb....Push any flop without hesitation.

This is an easy shove UTG with 8BBs...In marginal situations, stack sizes of the table, esp the blinds are necessary, but not this time.

Pretty sure I would push 77 here. So no this isnt very close.
