TT in small blind with 25 people left in Tourny. what to do?

[Rocco]

I shove this instantly! Your opponents will fold a lot, especially since they risk elimination if they look you up and lose. The 25K in the pot is 1/4 of your current stack and will be a very nice add-on. Remember, most people try to pick up blinds when bubble is nearing, because they've read aggression is good against those who play scared and just looking to cash. So, these people may look aggressive and active with their raising and blind stealing, but when they face a re-raise all-in, they fold faster than it takes for you to say "raise".

Re-raising to 40k, like someone mentioned is also nice, because it looks much stronger, and we might get JJ, or even QQ, to fold. Just remember, we MUST call if MP2 or Button comes over the top. And we are for sure open-jamming any flop without hesitation.

I really don't like calling here. TT is a strong hand, why play it for set value??? And how do we plan to play it OOP when an overcard flops? We could end up folding the best hand on a scary looking board this way. Why make a play that likely puts us in a difficult position? Why make poker so hard to play?

Sidenote: Someone pointed out that Button's cold-call looked strong, because he just invested 1/6th of his stack. It might look strong, but most donks just call here without a plan hoping they'll catch a lucky flop. Don't worry about Button.
