Blinds are 50/100. 8 Players remaining.
You are in BB with 850 left after posting your BB.
It is folded to the small blind who is the big stack with approx 3000. He raises to 300 total.

You look down at K9 sooooooted.

What do you do?

The level just went up from 25/50 to 50/100. Also I have had quite a few great starting hands, but had to fold because of bad boards.

I actually decided to push here. My reasoning is that the sb should be raising with any 2 cards to keep the pressure on me because of my short stack. This is a home tourney that has seemed to play quite a bit different than online sngs. And, while online, I would put next to no fold equity in this spot, at this tourney I think there is a fair amount more.

I just kinda felt that K9s is ahead of much of his range here, he will probably fold around 30% of the time, and if he had a big hand like AA-QQ ect, he would be limping here.

Maybe it was a bad play, but I was kinda hoping for more input. Thanks to those who did reply tho.

Feel free to add anymore if you like.
