Bubble question

[Dr_Jeckyl_00]

This morning, a friend posed this question to me and few others from our group of local live poker players. While we all agree that shoving is definitely +ev, is it the best play given this situation. I am not even sure if this is made up or from a real game, although I suspect it was from an actual game. They are only lurkers, so I said I would post this hand. Anyway what is the best course of action? (no reads were provided, and I assume 50/30/20 payout)

9-player SNG, top 3 make the money, on the bubble

Blinds 250/500

UTG 6k
Button 780
SB (me) 3500
BB 3300


Fold to hero with 9/9. Push, fold, other?

The worst possible calling range the BB can have would be 57% of all hands. Even then, EV fold = 27.4%, EV push = 28.6%, so EV diff = + 1.1%

Push. (I'm practicing with my new SNGEGT download). [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I am shoving ATC here. I am delighted to have a pair.

99 seems to be an easy push there.

I'm glad I pushed when/if the short stack doubles up once or twice and I have those extra 750 chips on my stack.

Terrible!

button has less than 2 BB, BB should be calling super tight here, enough to warrant shoving ATC from SB.

Push, all day long....

So if you shove, does BB fold QQ here?
If not what does he fold?

I would probably call with the top 5% of hands [AA,JJ], [AK,AJ], [KQ] in the BB. I don't think you should start folding great hands here because someone else is about to bust.

But does BB know that he should be calling super-tight ??
