Default Kinda simple hand from 1.5k NL event

Ok so blinds are 300/600/75, you have 9800 after posting your 600 BB (so 10.4 total).

Good/laggy player opens from EP, fishy guy calls in CO, good-ish loose player calls from button, fishy guy calls in SB.

You have 89s. What do you do?

(I hope this isn't too simple of a hand. This isn't a multi-part hand, this is it. So, sorry if it's dumb.)

opens for how much?

this is a gigabet type hand, you call wider than implied odds would normally dictate.

imo its ok to call more than 10pct of stack here.

Oh wow, I'm really sorry -- too late to edit now. He made it 1.8k, 3xBB. His standard raise.

I don't hate calling here, but you know you can't shove here as you have no FE.

I'm really not sure, I think it's kind of borderline call/fold.

This is a good time to take a shot in this type of tournament. Call and flop a monster.

I call. We are in between that point where we have a comfortable stack and a short stack... so it doesn't matter that much that we might lose 1800.

Uhhh, not really. We are already quite short. 10,000 chips, and each orbit 1575 - or an "M" of just over 6. Although you are being laid HUGE odds - if you call and whiff - you are really going to be in desperation mode.

That being said - in these tournaments where you are starting w/o a deep stack - this is a decent risk to take, to try and build a monster stack.

I have my own question (though I think I know the answer). We call. Flop comes 9-6-3 rainbow. I assume we open-shove?
What if the flop comes J-8-3 rainbow?
