PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

CO (t1540)
Button (t1480)
SB (t1480)
BB (t1500)
UTG (t1500)
Hero (t1500)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1500)
MP3 (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K, A.
UTG calls t20, Hero raises to t120, MP2 calls t120, MP3 calls t120, 2 folds, SB calls t110, BB raises to t600, 1 fold, Hero ???

Is this heavily weighted towards a shove because of the dead chips?
I ended up shoving because the 3better was a losing player - but is this what we would do against stronger opponents also?

With all that overlay, I would definitely shove it. The only hands you are fearing are AA and KK and if BB has one of those then gg you if you don't suck out.

There is also some possibility that the BB also sees all the dead chips and is trying to squeeze you - so I would shove over against a stronger player as well.
