I open fold and just take my 9k after the break.

Once the BB shoves, you don't have reason to believe MP2 is folding. Right before the add-on, that's a serious 3-bet whether he knows you or not. By calling the 1980, you effectively calling 3k, by this reasoning to win a little under 8k? I don't like it, personally.

I got it, and obviously you want as many players in the hand as possible considering if 56s beats an overpair you're most likely beating anyone in the hand.

That said, I don't hhhhhaaaate this, but I don't think I like it either. I definitely make plays similar to this sometimes, especially in RAOs, but I'm not sure on this one. You are getting pretty good odds though and there are sidepots, so maybe it's alright?

I'm nowhere near a poker client lately, so I don't have an idea on field sizes.

I like this a lot though. It may not be necessary in a 20 r/a. Definitely love it in the 3r or 11r.

If this is a normal rebuy, I like it a lot more.

Since it's a RAO, the play isn't nearly as loose.

If you're like me, you'll sacrifice a little cEV sometimes if it's going to get you a huge stack, and this will definitely give you a big stack and allow you to run over your table post-break. Even if you lose the hand, after adding on you still have a workable stack, so this isn't that bad at all.
