55: Button Steal vs BB: KO tourney
 

So villain had been playing back at me most of the times (all two of them) I had tried to steal his big blind. This is a KO tourney, $30 for knocking out any player. Am I far enough ahead of his range to call (shove) his raise, given the $30 bounty, in the $150 buy in?

I don't think so, because the bounty is effectively only a 20% overlay on the call and he's likely to have a tighter range without antes.

I'd (shove) lighter than usual, though.

no. getting around 1.5:1 odds and arent nearly that much of a favorite against his range(A9-up, 66-up). I don't really think it's even that close.

I shove here pretty happily if he seems at all competent(ie. lots of bad players 3bet small with big hands, lots of ok online players do it with their worse hands to appear stronger), in general, I haven't been giving small 3bets much credit lately.

i shove here as well. you said he had been pretty aggressive when people raised his blinds, so i dont mind a shove.
