It was very small MTT for $5, like 20 players, 3 places paid. Blinds: 10 Minutes. 8max

I play those games quite often, so I have some solid hand seize on some of regulars. However I played often 6max tables with them, that's why stats are a bit higher, than it should be for 8max.
I been sitting on Button with QQ, when saw that kind of crazy action in front of me. By default it's a shove I believe, what I did.
But maybe anyone has a thoughts about folding this one and wait for a better opportunity? Or a fold here would be a totally wasting value of a hand?

ICMizer says these kind of ranges are profitable for shove in that situation: ((2.6%) TT+,AKs) What you think about it?

Thanks for posting.

Having played with the opponents before does a min raise in this spot mean anything?
Would JJ-22 just min raise or shove to protect?

If you compare all of the stats player to player you will notice in relation to the others MP is one of the tighter players when raising. Vpip to pfr 40 -17 vs utg1 40-29

In a difficult spot like this it is the little pieces of data that help indicate the strength of MP's range.

Hope this helps

the question is all about ranges. if you push and MP call you have to win 41% to be even.
UTG1 has pretty wide range.
Has MP relevant 3bet stat? If so his range very tight QQ+ AK.
It is borderline situation.


Hand 0: 24.629% { QcQs }
Hand 1: 18.101% { 22+, A4s+, K9s+, Q9s+, JTs, ATo+, KJo+, QJo }
Hand 2: 57.270% { QQ+, AKs }

my opinion we can push if MP has TT+ AQs+
