    fold or shove pre based on read on UT, usually just fold. with these stacks it will rarely be correct to call a raise, certainly not with something like 77 which plays terribly and you don't close the action.

    As played fold, best case you are flipping with some dead money vs overs and a lower PP, worst case you need a 7

    I didn't even notice at first it was an SNG FT, that makes the fold even easier because the bubble is working against you

    move to SNGs (we put two tables in here)

    When the pot stays unopened I raise 2.5-3x BB from BTN with that hand there.
    BB has <10bb(which makes his shoving range wider) but 3bet shoving a UTG raise here with 9BB makes no sense unless he has a hand here, in which case you're either flipping or facing an overpair. He might have 22-66 sometimes, but looking at your/the tables stack sizes, calling is not worth the risk/reward ratio.
    Can't run the ICM calc right now but I'm sure calling is -EV.

    This is either a ship or fold the first time and flatting is bad. If villain is a loose idiot then it is a ship obv. If he is a bad tag/inducing action (if he is min raising here and taggy, he is probably bad or inducing a shove with a monster), it is a fold.
