I agree with you if this had been a regular cash game where pushing A9o preflop after a reraise from the bb seems way too risky - as I said already, the bots ROR was already at 46% against all hands.

Effectively, it's a cash game. ROR doesn't sound very important unless you think this bot's overall skill edge is huge, which I doubt it would be against other decent bots. If I know it'll call with enough hands such that A9o is +cEV against that range, then shove away.

I'm totally speculating as to what Guaran would have done but I think it's safe to say he'd have folded his entire range except for AA - QQ.

Yeah... that's the easy part. The hard part is his opening range, but there's no way to answer the question without it.

Also, it's so cute that no one even attempted to buy the 1k seat.

Slim,

Yes I guess it is like a cash game (but not a typical one), in the case where everybody has their entire roll at the table.

The bots risk of ruin was 46% (all hands considered) which is not that high for a single isolated preflop bluff, but quite high if the bot intends to suffer this risk repeatedly (and we'd need to hear from the bot owner to get further clarification here).

The players can't really "buy" an additional stack as such. In the case where there would have been a lone entrant in a $1k event, there would have been 10 minutes time for other players to have the chance to call the first player and enter. So a lone entrant can't just walk up to the cashier seconds before the entry window closes and spend the $100 event fee to get another final table stack. They would have actually had to fork over a total of $1100 ($1k entry fee + $100 event fee) and then they'd have to wait 10 minutes for other potential players to decide whether or not to enter.
