Early FT $50k Guaranteed Preflop Decision

[GreatKerblini]

I hardly ever see smaller pp raising here from the SB. You are never folding out better hands in this position. Im shoving over a SB's C-bet with a 3-under flop, and probably getting away from any A or K on the flop. If the flop comes 247, I can see us stacking any 99, 1010ish hand. If they had a bigger PP pf, we were going broke anyhow. However, shoving PF may fold out these smaller PP.

This is the way I like to control potsize/not going broke so early in a tournament in a very marginal situation.

If smaller PPs hardly ever reraise as you contend, then you aren't stacking them on the flop anyhow. Plus, when they do RR here with 99 or TT and you call you give them a chance to get away cheaply, or to bluff you off your hand, on an A or K flop.

shove, get called by the SB KK, spike a J on the flop and get berated
