BB: t3000 60 BBs
Hero (UTG): t2900 58 BBs
UTG+1: t2640 52.80 BBs

BTN: t2963 59.26 BBs
SB: t1265 25.30 BBs

Pre Flop: (t75) Hero is UTG with T♣ T♦
Hero raises to t150, 3 folds, MP2 calls t150, CO calls t150, 1 fold, SB raises to t1265 all in, 2 folds, MP2 raises to t1935 all in, CO calls t1785

SB is "maniac". More accurate word is spewy. So how far would you go here with your overshoving range?
I would probably call if I will be against SB only. Butr there are 2 opponents that are acting after me. When they just call I put them on some middle to low PP up to JJ and some broadways which are not AK and AQs, since I expect them to raise with them. Against that I am ahead most of the time and will get very nice stack.

But it is still early in the tournament and I don't think that this is worth takeing. I think it would be bad to waste edge in early stage on flips such as this one. Because of that I decide to fold TT. I would definitelly call QQ, but JJ I am not sure about. And I would fold any other hand including AK.

GL at tables and off them!

I expect the 2 callers on your raise are dead money most of the time. So they fold if you shove all-inn as well. Also it’s your goal to reach top 3 or better with the top heavy paid out structure in mind. So every opportunity to build up your stack I would take here. So I would call TT and AK here as well, because a maniac can easy push weaker pocket pairs and Ax combo’s I think.

I am not sure about folds here. In that particular hand HJ call with 77 and CO call with KTo. It is really rediciolus how much difference is between $2.5 and $0.5 player pool. Here are opponents really spewy and once they are invest some money they don't fold most of the time. Especially if there are a lot of chips already in play. They just see a lot of chips and they gamble. If this is wrong or even right I can't tell. Maybe it is not so wrong in terms of math, but yea it just the way it is.

So in general I don't expect opponents to fold more often then they call if they already invest some money. And I speak about recreational players. If there where sitting some bad regs or even regs, then I will expect more folds. But against unknown on that tournament I don't expect folds most of the time.

GL at tables!

mylove, these hands are really sick hahaha
If u had the read villain is that spewy, u should have called. Its true that we have to play tournaments careful... but we should always embrace the good opportunities we see in the path.
