Default Re: Opinion please: T9s

It's very hard to come up with a range for BB that makes this play -EV. At the worst, it will be VERY -EV, and even that will require a very specific calling range for BB that isn't necessarily good / typical / what you would expect to be up against.

Against the vast majority of opponents who are in the BB, this shove will be +EV (because it's +EV against most calling ranges and against pretty much any reasonable calling range) and therefore you should make it.

I'd highly recommend investing in some ICM software (see stickies) and figuring out questions like this for yourself. Learning why a play is good or bad, looking at factors that affect the analysis, etc. is vastly superior to having 10 or so people simply say "shove".
