FT of a 109r, with standard payouts, assume UTG is shoving any 2, how wide do you think you can shove profitably from UTG+1.

What if UTG is shoving 50% of hands, and the rest of the table assumes about the same?

What types of hands do you prefer shoving, what types of hands do you prefer raising

Also, if you are UTG+1, what is your shoving range?

UTG realllllly wide. I don't even want to bother with a range but like super wide. UTG+1 probably something like 20%

If we think UTG is shoving any 2, i think we can profitably shove a huge range, like basically hand that has at least 50% equity vs a random hand. The people behind us are going to need a big hand to call.

If he's shoving 50%, maybe 55+ A6o+.a4s+,kto+,k7s+, QTs+

If i'm gunna raise, i would always shove.

My range would be something like 44+,a5o+,a2s+,k9o+,k7s+,QJo,QTs+

I'd be surprised if we get called by worse than AQ or TT. But I bet a bunch of people would fold AQ and TT here. Maybe not a good regular, but there are a lot of bad people in the 100r.

if people behind you are calling with ONLY 99+/AQ+ they are calling with 4.7% of hands.

with 4 players left to act behind you the chance that one of them wakes up with one of those hands is 1-(.953)^4 = 17.6% of the time.

If you reshove with 66+/A9o+/A7s+/KJ+ you are reshoving with 13.1% of hands and you will be 66.6% to beat a random hand if you are heads up and you will have 31% equity when someone else comes along with 99+/AQ so (assuming that when you are reshoved on the avg reshoving stack is 100k)...

.824*(.66*52,120-.33*31,120)+.176*(.315*152,120-.685*100,000)= 16,260

ok, I guess your range should be a lot wider than that. Lets try: 55+,A2s+,K8s+,QTs+,KTo+,QJo.

With this range you are 30.8% to win a 3 way all in and 64% to win if its heads up... not much of a difference.

Lets try: 55+,A2o+,K7o+,K5s+,any two broadway, Q9s,J9s,9Ts,89s. Thats 32% of total hands.

Heads up you would be 61% against the random hand and 26.7% to win a 3 way all in:

(0.824*(0.61*52120-0.39*31120)+0.176*(0.267*152120-0.723*100000)= 10,620

Lets see if the bottom hands in that range are adding to our expected value...

K7o is 20.8% to win the 3 way all in and 55.2% to win heads up:

.824*(.552*52,120-.448*31,120)+.176*(.267*152,120-.733*100,000)=6466.3 (we can include lower kings)

89s is 50.8% against a random hand and 24.9% in a 3 way all in:

.824*(.508*52,120-.492*31,120)+.176*(.249*152,120-.751*100,000) = 2649.6 ... about the lowest we should go with the SCs

ok, im sick of doing math... I am going to go with the final range of:

55+,A2o+,K7o+,K5s+,any two broadway, Q9s,J9s,9Ts,89s. Thats 32% of total hands.

btw assuming that UTG will push a random hand is completely absurd as they have absolutely no FE. No one with any functioning poker brain should ever do so. It's good to do these calcs, but why take an assumption that makes no sense at all?

Maybe m range was a bit too loose, but I didn't do any math or anything. Also, I really think that most people at these final tables value their survival too much, which allows us to shove wider.

If you were at the table with them earlier then I think it would be pretty easily to know whether they were shoving 100% or not. -- so yes here it is still to assume that but at the table it could be very fair assumption.
