Pretty easy shove I think, regardless of what Villain does with KK or AA. Recognize that CO ought to be jamming a REALLY wide range, and as a result Button could be isolating pretty wide. I gave them pretty conservative ranges, 30% for CO and about 10% for Button:

Hand 0: 	23.978%  	23.26% 	00.72% 	       5850584 	   179971.67   { 22+, A2s+, K5s+, Q7s+, J8s+, T8s+, 98s, A7o+, A5o, K9o+, Q9o+, J9o+, T9o }
Hand 1: 	35.592%  	34.74% 	00.85% 	       8738195 	   213313.33   { 66+, ATs+, KQs, ATo+, KQo }
Hand 2: 	40.430%  	39.89% 	00.54% 	      10032842 	   135483.00   { TT }

It's hard for me to imagine Button folding 77 or AJ. I guess AT and 66 are a little closer, even though I'm sure they're profitable shoves. Against the range I gave Button you're also a small favorite in the sidepot.

If you have a read that these guys are jamming tighter than this, it gets more complicated. But if you aren't sure, I'd happily to default to getting it in.

I am a bit confused here. We are not beating much with 10 10. There is a good chance that we are beating nothing and flipping the rest of the time.

Are we as Fk alludes to calling here because it is only a 2 Dollar tourney and one has to take chances in these large fields to try and build a stack to be in a position to win or go very deep.

Would Foucault and Fk recomend this same play on the final few tables of the Sunday Million?.

What I am really asking is, “is this more of a call when you are multi tabling loads of low buy in tourneys than if you are only playing two or three higher buy in tourneys a week”

Did you disagree with the ranges I posted? They included several examples of hands Hero is beating and show that overall Hero's equity is quite good. Folding a hand that would be “flipping” (meaning in this context a 55/45 favorite vs something like AKo) when there is already money in the pot is a pretty big disaster.

It's nothing to do with gambling. A call is either +$EV or it isn't. If it isn't, “gambling” isn't going to improve your chances of winning the tournament. If it is, folding isn't going to improve your chances of winning.

The cards don't know what the buy-in is or how many tournaments you're going to play this week.

My first thought was fold. We have 34bbs so no immediate need to gamble. After Fk and Andrew explained why the short stack could be pushing light and the button knowing this and shoving, I kinda see that maybe we could be in good shape. As regards money already in the pot Andrew, well we have only put in the small blind. Your videos are my favourite Andrew so I really will take on board what you say. I am too nitty, I know that. That is not saying I would call but I will definetly consider it as an option.

My whole point in my last post was that your decision shouldn't be based on some perceived “need to gamble”. Put people on ranges and figure out how much equity you have. Call when equity > pot odds. When appropriate, factor in ICM. 

It doesn't matter where the money in the pot came from. If there is 1000 in the pot, and someone shoves 10,000 and shows you AKo and you fold TT, you made a huge mistake. If you posted 500 on the BB, then you made an even huger mistake, but even if you were the button, you are getting 1000 in overlay on this “flip”, which, again, you actually are a 55/45 favorite.

Folding away such a big edge is gambling. It is gambling that you are going to get enough “even better spots” to win the tournament while folding what is already a pretty damn good spot. Besides, when those better spots come along, having more chips to invest in them is pretty nice.
