BB: t393 2 BBs

Pre Flop: (t300) Hero is SB with 7 <font color='red'>♥</font> T <font color='black'>♣</font>
1 fold, Hero ???

I know i have to shove..
I shove mainly using Pokerstrategy Categories.
For an effective stack of <= 5 bb i am using Category 8 hands to push which are basically about 40% of hands.
Should i shove something like 70% of hands here or ATC,
given my x10 (and more) stack over him?

What % to shove when villain is a miniscule, given i have reduced fold equity?

I think you should shove with 90 percent of your hands, maybe even 100%. This is where I would not even look at my cards and shove. And if I am in the BB, I wouldn't even look at my cards and call. This is such a small stack that nothing else makes sense. If the BB had 5BB, you actually have a decision to make. Then I think 70% makes sense. I would still be a little more aggressive.

As you've already got the small blind invested, you pretty much have to shove any hand in this position. Even 72o has enough equity against his calling range (which should be 100% of hands) to makes this a profitable shove.

Thanx for the replies :)
I understand what you're saying.. Since he's calling everything, mostly unpaired then even 72o is about 30-35% against whatever he calls me with. I agree.
I suppose it's worse to give a walk to a 2bb player :) Perhaps there's nothing more to think in these cases since i have at least 30% equity.
Thank you

I did (though my T7o is stronger, a 50% hand) and took him out goodbye. From now on i'm going to gradually shove close to 90% as the effective stack shrinks :)
