Live $500 MTT. Original stacks 5K, blinds 200/400/75, 9-handed. You have to 5500. SB has 4K, others have you covered. Players more or less know what they are doing but are somewhat passive. Your image is aggressive TAG. Folded to you in CO with A2o. What do you do?

i'm indifferent between raise/folding and shoving

1100 and fold to a shove sounds good

default would be shove because of the ridiculous antee....but live i could be convinced otherhwise.

With 75 ante, just shove
Its unexploitable and very +EV, i believe

I actually raised to 1000 with the idea of folding to a reraise. Button calls.

Button is big stack. Plays standard game, raises somewhat big in early position with middle pp or AK, bets 1/4 pot into multiple players on the flop with the nuts. Asian guy on button raised and he called in BB; he checkraises on J64r flop, takes it, and shows A5s.

The flop comes A37, giving me a backdoor flush draw to the deuce. What should I do, and what is my plan?

happily shove (pre). raising in 20%+ of your stack and folding should be avoided.

i would check. if he bets go all in. if he checks behind i bet the turn and get it in if called/raised. Think thats the line that might get you called by a worse hand, and im not folding.

M=4.3, ~14bb, 3 to act, somewhat passive table, you have a connected A, shove.
