    Default Shoving range v UTG Shortstack push

    It's been a while since I played a tourney, need a memory refresher. I don't have a hand history but it is a $10 rebuy, 28/450 left, blinds are 2000/4000. I have 53k, average is about 68k, leaders are on around 150k.

    UTG has just moved to the table 3 hands ago and pushed on his first hand to take the blinds uncontested. Now he pushes in for 37k. I am next to act.

    What range should I be shoving here?

    Are there antes? That makes a huge difference here.

    It depends on how many big stacks are at your table and how loose they are playing, but I would call this with only a tight range. Something like JJ+/AK.

    Basically, you're looking for a hand to double up here, and you have to consider this your tournament life. You're not in great shape but if there are no antes, you can wait and pick your spot.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.
