Q9o in sb vs very ss push - $10 15k

[Willd]

SS in this hand was far too tight with his shortstack and had folded down to this stack. BB hadn't been at the table long but hadn't shoved when he had a chance UTG and UTG+1 so could possibly be playing too tight or just got dealt trash. There is a 600 ante (15k uses the old structure with smaller antes) and I was 1/42 at the time with ~60k more than 2nd.

Yeah I like it, 47k in pot of which your equity is likely to be &gt;50% and with fold equity on the BB. It's like shoving on a 16k BB but more probable he will fold (as a 12k bb)
