    Default AJo reraise AI?

    This hand is from the Turbo Takedown. We are sitting around 3000th place with 1500-2000 player to be eliminated before the bubble (5000 paid).

    The villain seems fairly solidish. I have noticed the him make this identical raise size a few times, although no one has reraised or called him yet. Given that I have a SNG background I want to just push AI in this spot, although I'm not sure this is better than just limping or folding. Any advice on how to play the hand?

    Probably always ship this, we lose a huge hunk of our stack if we go thru the blinds again, and you never know, he might fold a better hand once in a while.

    Its not really a good spot for villain to be opening light because theres so many shortstacks that he's committed to. But its a freeroll and he could just be thinking only about how he has 12k and doesn't want to fold T9s. I'd fold here sometimes but I need a really good read. I agree that flatting is completely out of the question

    FWIW I'm no expert but I would guess any time you think a shove would be good in an SNG it is even better in a MTT, maybe excluding the FT. We all moved to MTTs because we don't like folding.
