This is really sort of hand "You can try, but necessary need to." As you can see Nash Chart says us it's about even, slightly -EV decision. What really surprises me, as i thought T9o should have more equity as J9o, because it's the best connectors-hand in Texas Hold Em. :eek: Well, at least i learned some of these.
There were also 3 other reasons to do that push for me:
1) Villain is tight player. I mean
after 2K hands: 16/7 and 79 fold to steal in addition.
2) It's a CC League, so people tend to play more tight to gain more pts for their Teams.
3) I was Card Dead for last 30-40 minutes and thought it was time for some actions, until i be blinded out.
4) I got his stack covered (he was a shorty), so it wasn't Tournament Life decision for me, but for him.

What are your thoughts on that spot? Would you rather fold it or push?

I think this shove is totally fine. I don't see a screenshot from ICMizer, but SnapShove says this is a profitable jam all the way up to 25bb lol.

That doesn't mean jamming is the BEST play all the way up to 25bb, but at 9-10bb effective where the clear play is shove or fold, this is definitely a good shove. Add on top of it that the player's stats appear fairly tight, I like jamming even more. Nice hand.
