Hi,

I'm a bit unsure about this play with my 23 BBs and first to act late in a MTT with 30 players left. Is it better to raise or shove it preflop?

PokerStars - $1+$0.10|9000/18000 Ante 2250 NL - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (UTG+1): 23.23 BB
MP: 71.14 BB (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 8)
CO: 14.28 BB (VPIP: 26.09, PFR: 21.74, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 23)
BTN: 10.62 BB (VPIP: 15.00, PFR: 8.22, 3Bet Preflop: 6.06, Hands: 80)
SB: 7.58 BB (VPIP: 12.50, PFR: 12.50, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 8)
BB: 11.79 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 4)
UTG: 15.16 BB (VPIP: 22.22, PFR: 25.00, 3Bet Preflop: 40.00, Hands: 9)

7 players post ante of 0.13 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.38 BB) Hero has 7♣ 7♠

fold, Hero raises to 2.23 BB, fold, fold, fold, SB raises to 7.46 BB and is all-in, fold, Hero calls 5.23 BB

Flop: (16.79 BB, 2 players) 8♣ 2♣ Q♠

Turn: (16.79 BB, 2 players) 9♣

River: (16.79 BB, 2 players) 6♥

Spoiler

SB shows A♣ 8♦ (One Pair, Eights)
(Pre 44%, Flop 91%, Turn 95%)
Hero shows 7♣ 7♠ (One Pair, Sevens)
(Pre 56%, Flop 9%, Turn 5%)
SB wins 16.79 BB

I think your raise is standard with 77 with a 23bb stack. Maybe min raising is better, but that’s the only thing.

I like the way you played thi hand, being aware of the stack sizes at the table and making a decision to whom call/folld - I would have done the same, except vs MP, cause he's having 71 BB, so I would thing for a longer time before making fold/call vs him depending on his looseness/tightness.

You played this hand very well in my opinion, just bad luck bro! ;)

As played I think it's well played and I'd have done the same myself.

But looking at the P/F charts on https://www.pokerstrategy.com/strategy/sit-and-go/787/1/

Would give the SB a range of AA-77,AK,AQ,AJs,ATs to shove against your raise.
Which would only give you 36% equity, would put you in poor shape.

Think it comes down to, what you have picked up on the player.

Don’t forget that the chart is most likely for STT SNG’s and in MTT’s they will shove a lot wider than that for sure or it’s a nit and is calling on a shove with the big antes standard here.
