I started mixing KO tourneys, so kinda somehow missread table and though it's KO tourny, that would i believe explain this shove... but now looking at this shove from regular 9 man tourney perspective I think it's not that bad either... as im freerolling (gaining chips)

And BB needs monster to call.

$6.45 Buy-in (100/200 blinds) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 6 Players

BB: 3,335 (16.7 bb)
UTG: 55 (0.3 bb)
MP: 1,980 (9.9 bb)
CO: 1,725 (8.6 bb)
BTN: 3,320 (16.6 bb)
Hero (SB): 3,085 (15.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8 2
UTG calls 55 and is all-in, 3 folds, Hero raises to 3,085 and is all-in, BB folds

Flop: (455) J Q A (2 players, 2 are all-in)
Turn: (455) 2 (2 players, 2 are all-in)
River: (455) 6 (2 players, 2 are all-in)

Results:

Spoiler

455 pot
Final Board: J Q A 2 6
UTG showed A 3 and won 165 (110 net)
Hero showed 8 2 and won 290 (90 net)

Shove is no good in a normal 9-max tourney. From a KO perspective, it is a bit better as we collect the bounty, however it is still minus EV. Times BB is gonna wake up with a hand is not gonna make up for the big 15.5 shove with this trash hand. And on top-he has you covered, which means 2 possible bounties for him. He is inclined to call looser just because of this. And on top-you never have a powerhouse such as JJ in this spot as you will raise to induce. So there you go-your range is capped, he has you covered and has another reason to widen up his range. I don't like the push. A raise might be good actually if he is the type to fold a lot preflop or on a cbet(when flatted).
