Default 6.50 - What is his pushing range?

Against a standard $6.50 player would you call here? I thought this would be a fold, but SNGPT says its a pretty easy call. Am I way off or am I missing something when I'm doing this in SNGPT?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (5 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

BB (t2190)
UTG (t1885)
MP (t5320)
Button (t1375)
Hero (t2730)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

I don't think it's such a horrible place to gamble. If you were in the BB and 200 more committed I would call. I think this play could go either way towards a call or fold. I tend to fold this because it's not a hand like AK where if you miss the flop, you've still got a chance - you need to hit hearts/straight (draw) or you'd be basically drawing dead on the flop.

Why should I not follow SNGPT in this spot then? If I set his range to 50% and realistically it should be 100, but at 50 it's +0.4% and at 100% it goes up to +2.5%

SNGPT assumes bb always folds.

There is some value in letting BB call and take out button. But for this to be realized BB have to call, and he have to win the showdown. Because of this the value is not big. So you should pretty much follow SNGPT imo. I don't play these stakes, but do you think button really push 50% or even ATC?

Given the blind sizes, he should be pushing almost ATC here, and BB should be calling very wide. I think I would let this go and let BB call.
