PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 3.5 Tournament, 300/600 Blinds 50 Ante (4 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from http://www.flopturnriver.com

Button (t2420)
SB (t2079)
Hero (BB) (t3306)
UTG (t5695)

Hero's M: 3.01

Preflop: Hero is BB with A, 9
2 folds, SB bets t1800, 1 fold

Total pot: t1400

Do I definitely have to call this? Folded as BTN is also short, however getting hit by SB in next hand.

SB is tight (VP 13 PRF 11) however he shoving so wide here?

I think this should have been a snap call....

Hey there. I would highly recommend calling this. At bb600, you be much more liberal in your decisions because time is running out in this game.

Re: button being short...
The button is not short enough for this to be intimidating. I have a bubble video coming out soon called Double Theory which addresses situations like this. Looking forward to its release!

This is very clear call. Villain only has 3bb (ante adjusted) and he is shortest stack. Meaning his range is very likely wide and he is your direct opponent.

I would usually expect villain with these stats to be wider in this spot than someone with e.g. 40/15 stats. This villain likely understand he can profitably shove wide here.
