$10 NL HE: What should be the bottom of my shoving range?

The game is: No-limit Hold'em
Blinds: 750/1500 Ante: 300
My stack: 10420
Big blind stack: 8430
I am playing in the later stages of an online tournament. The hand is folded around to me in the small blind. The big blind is a tight player.

What should be the bottom of my shoving range?

You should be shoving any two cards here. You have about 7 bbs with large antes so you should really be shoving any two from the button if folded around to you as well. In saying that, big blind should really be calling your shove with almost two cards but most people will not put their tournament life on the line with junk.

If this is live there is another reason to shove any two. People will have a tighter calling range here as they do not want to be seen as a bad player who will call off their stack with less than premium hands.

^^^ x2. If there were no antes, I might fold 72o,62o,52o,32o, and 42o. But then again if he's tight, I might not.

I'd agree with the atc's.. BUT.. it is player read dependent a bit I would think.. because BB should be calling here in BB 100% of the time.
What's the alternative???..

Basing it on 6 handed play, BB only has an M of 2. With SB having such a wide shoving range here BB should be calling with a super wide range to. Not exactly any two cards but maybe about 70% of hands. The problem with saying this is that at this level most players will not call with anywhere near 70% of hands, probably more like 30% which is basically any two picture cards, pocket pairs and any Ace. This tighter range gives us more reason to be pushing any two cards in this spot.
