chipping up is easy in this tourney as you can see from action hands like this which are more common than you may expect.

This may be so, but it's so much harder to exploit this short - not in terms of BBs but how doonks will view our stack). As I say, I'm not talking about correct poker (though I do think we're unlikely to be less than 25% for the pot if we move in with SCs). I play deepstacked stuff and rebuys to play pots and flops and so I'll take gambles when the rebuy period hasn't been great to achieve a stack that I can do that with.

nah, you exploit it by playing tight, and then sticking it in w/ the nuts after 3 people go all in. I fold 9Ts there 100%.

I don't get shoving 55 but folding QJs. We're in much better shape with QJs if called.

That's such a bad range shoving 55 here is just burning money. Why do you shove 55 and not 22 do you really think there's that big a difference in their equity.

BTW my range here is 99+ AK+. AQ is probably a fold here IMO but it's close.
