Default ($27t) K9s Calling a push from the button

How wide does button need to be pushing to make this call +.5 EV? Without looking at SNGPT!

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 (7 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1515)
UTG+1 (t4790)
MP1 (t885)
CO (t1665)
Button (t1395)
SB (t1745)
Hero (t1505)

Preflop: Hero is in Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I would say very wide, close to a2c.

But now I'll have a look at the correct answer [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I'd say wider than 30% but not as wide as ATC. About 50% maybe.

grunch: I think calling here is terrible Kx sucks to call with here. I am folding a lot of hands better than K9s too. Better to push weaker next hand than call this at these blinds, stack sizes, 7 handed...

Well of course most people aren't pushing that wide there, so it's not a good call in general. But that's not what he asked.

Default Re: ($27t) K9s Calling a push from the button

Here's the deal:

I was the villain in this hand, and pushed K3. The player in the BB called me with K9s in this spot. I am trying to make some sense out of this. I would love to say great call against my ATC push buddy. Great read. But my better judgment won't allow me to do so.

Anyone got that answer???
