Default stars $60 - 99 against 2 shoves

Normally I think that I'm folding this, but I had a strong read on SB. I felt like he was isolating with weak holdings. If I put UTG+1 on any 2 does this become a money making play.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 with t25 antes (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1043)
UTG+1 (t757)
CO (t6220)
Button (t1713)
SB (t1517)
Hero (t2250)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="red">UTG+1 raises to t732 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="red">SB raises to t1492 (All-in)</font>, Hero calls t1292

Flop: (t3966) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)


Turn: (t3966) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)


River: (t3966) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)

If you arent already losing, I think you have to avoid alot of cards 5 times, so I fold

If you're putting the open shover on ATC, then I think this is a pretty clear call.

Make a disciplined laydown, I think. Tough, but you're probably facing several overcards in the best case scenario, and three-way it probably won't hold up.

I doubt shorty is pushing ATC here. SB's isolation smells like ace big. This is 6 handed still. Just fold. There are better spots. If this was bubble or ITM, bigger blinds shoving might be good, but not here, IMO.

I also doubt shorty is pushing ATC, but even if he is pushing like 40-50% I am pretty sure this is a clear call. You do have them both covered and you are getting 2:1 on your money.

I like a call. Nice overlay.

If both players are playing anywhere near ideally, I'd call. It's tough to put a range on UTG+1 but even if he's on a semi nitty range as long as SB is shoving hands like A7o we should have plenty of overlay to call.
