Default Re: Hustler NL tournament -- faces with button raise holding K9

Push.

Not because you have the best hand (although you might) but because he is opening a lot of hands on the button that he will not call a shove with.

Pot is too small for a stop and go (you can't shove 8k into the 4k pot) and it is too big for a go and go.

Your hand is not big enough to play on its value and live players fold KQ/KJ/KT too much to preflop shoves so you are not often dominated when you do get your shove called.

Calling and reevaluating is silly because you will miss most flops and you are forgoing a lot of pf fold equity.

If you are good with reverse tells you should quietly do the opposite of what you did on the A6o hand.
